    >Berlin won't be on Universal Sports; we had bad information. The German stream will be available and there will be a link on the Majors site soon, if there isn't already.

    Seriously, they're showing Haile's movie? Even on Showtime Extreme? I thought that thing had sunk without a trace, despite having about half an hour of the best running footage ever (and about an hour of terrifyingly dull Ethiopian ethnography).
