I feel NBC/Universal is having a negative impact on track and field. They are just plain bad for the sport. They reduce accessibility by putting almost all the Diamond League meets on a premium station that a lot of people don't have. Sorry, virtually nobody is going to pay extra to get a cable package with Universal to watch track meets. They they make distance races basically impossible to watch on TV because they show very little of the races. And the coverage they do have, for any race, is terrible because their announcers are terrible.
I pray for the day NBC/Universal stops bidding for rights to Diamond League meets and some other broadcasting comes and gives us a better product. NBC/Universal clearly has NO interest in improving this product.

Agreed, but it's really easy to watch NBCSN for free online.

Except.NBCSN is NOT the same as Universal Sports. They charge more for the latter. And if you can find an online replay for the Paris 5000m, I'd like to see it.

Running the Diamond League 5000m this weekend!

http://www.diamondleague-london.com/Live-StartlistsResults/Overview/5000m-Men/

Why is Rupp not in this race taking another crack at it? As we discussed, he could try and get it right this time (if up to it), by running even split 12:50 pace on the heels of the pacers ('like white-on-rice', remember?) to try and take down the AR.

What special requirements are required to get him into these races?

Well whatever..I'm not a 'medical expert'. I was simply just repeating what the announcers or interviewer said in regards to Rupp, his wife and their expectant twins. And in my opinion why he is not racing the Glasgow 5k.
