14 men run under 2:18. 200+ runners qualified. Anyone know how many started? Only 105 finish. Why not start the race at 7 am when you know it's going to be warm. The announcement should have been made Monday. The athletes would have had plenty of time to adjust.
I understand it was live on NBC but if they can't move the time slot why not keep it at 1 on tape delay? Seems like a wasted opportunity for plenty of runners who were in great shape.
Thoughts?
