This is where I will be posting live updates, beginning a little before 7:20am eastern/4:20am pacific.

Jeff Hartwig will be providing live updates from Beijing where he is in the athletes village and has a live feed from the meet.

DO NOT discuss results anywhere else on this site until late tomorrow night when they air on the west coast TV.

I am sure it is just a coincidence that Isinbayeva is last...

I hope some of you are getting up early to follow the action. I'll be kind of bored if I am just talking to myself!

When and where will it air on the west coast?

They never announce the exact time they will air anything, but if Jenn does well I would guess it will air pretty late at night tomorrow night on NBC.

If you are lucky enough to have the Canadian station, they might show it live, at least the end of it.

LOL yay! I am glad I am not the only crazy one.

I know they are not showing it on the west coast until 8pm on NBC.

Alright looks like we are going to get started in about twenty minutes!

From the IAAF live updates:

19:03
There's a light rain falling now on the infield. Without any wind, we're not getting wet here in the tribune, but as the grass gets wet the discus is skipping into the net on many throws.

They're being introduced now.
