Think of how many jumps could be covered if they went from PV to HJ to Lt etc. Seems like if they can do it for golf they could do it for track.
This is how European TV coverage is. The best meets I've ever seen in the US used the EuroSport video feed.
For some reason, those in charge think US viewers want to see a background story on the winner, an interview with every winner that is out of breath, and only 1 attempt in each field event. Too be honest, I don't watch track on TV. I can't stand the pain. The WCSN(?) Internet channel has been a great though and the Versus TV coverage for worlds was good too. Too bad once you're on Versus, you know your sport is marginalized.
