If the published streaming windows are accurate, they will shut down tonight before the two 10,000 finals. So you are paying $13 to see the prelims instead of waiting to see them on YouTube and watching the other finals on NBC this weekend. Not great value for anyone but the most rabid fanatics. (I haven't decided if that includes me yet.)
I consider myself a fanatic and I'm still not falling for that crap. That crap is asinine.
Who’s your pick? I think a favorite in the men’s 1500 is going home devastated.
Maybe the Men’s 800 as well? Women’s 800 might be tough as well. Nia/Athing are on the struggle bus right now and the team looks wide open.
If the 1500 goes completely tactical, 3:34 or so, Yared will actually be in a bad spot.
I don't think there is anyway Yared will let that happen. He knows if he leads it out fast, he'll make the team. I expect him to do exactly what he did at the Olympic trials.
No offense to Rojo, but that information is incorrect. He says the time are Eastern, but they are actually Pacific. Here is the schedule posted by NBC:
Since the USATF TV streaming for Thursday ends at 12:10 am on Friday, the 10ks will be streamed. The men's 10k is the last event of the day, and it starts at 20:30 Pacific time.

Reason provided:
Adding time zone for men's 10k
Matthew Wilkinson has run faster than Rooks’s steeple SB 3 times this year; Isaac Updike has done it twice; Nathan Mountain and James Corrigan have also run 8:14s.
I think Wilkinson, Updike and Corrigan will be the team.
Of course, I could be entirely wrong with Rooks dominating like the silver medalist should.
