Ridiculous: They finally have the total slam points showing live midway through the race, and then they TAKE IT OFF the screen with 200 to go. What are they doing?
And in the middle of a fascinating race, no less.

Hmmm... something fishy. I think dos Santos threw this one... yes, Nassot is in better form than previous years, but this looked fixed to add some drama.
i can see them cutting the distance group next year to save money. if money isn't an object, i think the thing to do is split the 8/15 and 3k/5k group into a 400/800 group and a 1500/3k or 5k group.
Fisher in a 1500/5k group against guys like hocker and kerr would be great.
I don’t need to see 3 flat 400m races per gender with only one of them being truly world class (the 200/400 group). I can totally see them dropping the distance group altogether, but I’d hope they’d consider including an “exhibition” distance race for each slam with its own legit prize money.

Did Gebrhiwet drop from the 3000 for Sam Gilman? He's still listed on the official GST website
