I also like how the 2nd place long jumper jumped less than both 3rd and 4th place.

not ran until after the steeple, which is being run now
Men's 5k starts in 5 minutes.
It looked like Wariner peed himself a little before the race. There seemed to be a dark spot on his uniform in the crotch region. But we've all done that.

Overall a VERY dissapointing meet. Not just the coverage but the meet itself... ho hum.
You know conditions are crap when a Dibaba runs over 15:00.

I know Larry is trying to appeal to the casual track fan, but I really would like to hear some new commentary or none at all. Hearing the same old comments since 2004 is getting a little bit annoying. I think Larry knows a lot about the sport. It just doesn't come off that way, because he repeats the same stuff over and over. Some of them are funny, but others make me want to change the channel. Let's see. Here are a couple Rawsonisms I can think of: Runners draft off each other just like cars at Indianapolis. To all you youngsters out there look how blank drives their arms and runs through the finish.
