I'm watching on gold... add free. The TV commentators for NBC hurt my ears.

If you have gold, we suggest you watch that as you get way better announcers (at least for the distance events, you do miss out on Ato Boldon) and there are no commercials and it's live. The TV is about 4 minutes behind.

Ujah wins 100m, 10.02 (-0.2).

Nice to see Bayer improve to 8:14 (8:12 for Bor) considering he left the BTC this year.

Rabbit with a 30m lead with 200m to go.

What a weird 800m

Kszczot wins in 1:45.96. The rabbit ran until the end, but finished last. His final 100 m wasn't pretty.

Ksczcot wins the 800!! Blows them away! Of course, everyone was talking about Bett, Amos, Brazier, Manangoi etc...and who wins?? The guy no one wants to talk about...

rabbit asked for 50.50 delivered 48.2

I'm actually still impressed by Amos, only 2.5 seconds down on the winner despite falling

Solid 3rd from Brazier in a quality field. Beat the two guys who beat him last week and 3 other guys who have run 1:44 this year.

False. Job Kinyor - the rabbit who has a 1:43 pb- delivered a 49.25. The field hit 400 4.2 seconds behind that. At 500, he started to think he might win the race. At 600, he still led by 3.39 seconds but they mowed him down.

At 600, people thought Kinyor might win it and yet he ended up last.
