[rainbowgirl28]

The men's final is at 19:25am. What time is that where you are? http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/result ... eZones.pdf

That's 3:25am for me, guess I had better try to nap with the baby as much as possible today.

That's a good bet. He looks hard to beat! I don't think anyone else in finals has it in them to jump 6 meters right now, Lavillenie does.

7pm for Australia! Perfect timing.

Love having an event in Asia because I'm actually going to be able to watch it at a decent time of day. Otherwise I'll either be up all night or checking my iphone furiously for updates while at work!

I've got to get up for a very early flight to Denver so I'll watch it on my phone. Renaud - looks so relaxed and confident. Can't see him having anything but a stellar, and perhaps record day. Bubba

About 5 hours to go! I took a nice nap with the baby earlier today, let's see if I can catch a few hours of sleep before the final starts My alarm is set!

I will try to be on PVP at the stadium, we have wifi but its not the best. If you have any questions about the comp Ill try to answer them from a front row seat! GO USA!

You're the best! We all wish you were jumping, but sure do appreciate having the inside scoop! Be sure to let us know what the weather and wind are like, and if anything interesting is going on that is not obvious from the X's and O's.

Alright just found a seat in the front row. Wind is non existent and its the nicest night I've seen here.

Front row seats at Worlds, man I'm jealous!

It's 3am, the baby (who only very recently figured out how to sleep more than 3 hours in a row) is asleep, and I'm awake of my own free will. Thank goodness for laptops!

[Hollis]

They are definitely having some trouble with the automatic standards, there not going up the same, will be interesting if it continues. The jumpers have already lost probably 10 min from them trying to fix them. They seem to be working better now but well see.
