That' s 2 jumps more than I expected. Maybe they'll introduce a few more runners. That's why I watch...to hear sprinter introductions.

thanks!

Yes, thank you Becca. Reading your updates isn't quite like being there, but... it's sure cheaper than flights from Indy.

Why exactly the USATF can't afford to do live timing and scoring on the net is completely beyond me though.

One wonders whether there is a business case for web casting niche events like pole vaulting, assuming there is a way to carve out the rights away from the telecasters. I am sure the javelin throwers, triple jumpers, shot putters, etc are grumbling about the lack of coverage for their events as well.

They spent 5 minutes on showing the replay of the 800 from Monday and interviewing the winner again and only 45 seconds on the PV. Whats bad is yesterday was really a slow day and they had 2 hours of coverage.
