2019 USATF Distance Classic Tonight - Official Discussion Thread

Does anyone know where the results are?

We have a schedule results page on the front page as always.

Someone at the meet could start streaming it on their cell phone and then NBC can go back to the hell it came from.

Man on man. They say a pictures is worth a 1000 words and since I'm basically speechless after watching that final heat of the 800 I"ll let a picture do the talking for me:

I can watch it on my phone but not my laptop. Which is annoying.

59 to 67 is a huge difference, maybe wind had an effect as the 2 slowest people on the first lap took the top 2 spots

Watching Murphy run just 1:46 makes me want to yell out to these guys. "Hey, the DL has started, 1:46 is good for college but not pros."

uhhhh, Sanchez recently ran 1:44 and Murphy beat him easily. None of the DL guys are better.

Also, It's not like Murphy or most of these guys are going for world leading times right now. Most of them we're probably just aiming to get a rust buster and hopefully at least a US qualifier.

To watch Gold streaming on your laptop be sure to pause your

ad blocker; this is what got me in.

I wouldn't say Murphy beat him easily. He had to dig pretty hard that last 100 and only got him right before the line.

That said, it's clear that Murphy was the class of this field. He wasn't in great position and ran almost the entire race in lane 2 whereas Sanchez got out in front early and ran in lane 1 the whole way. I think Murphy cost himself at least a second just from the extra distance he had to run.

NBC phone app and website have been buggy for me. On my Windows laptop I can only watch using Microsoft Edge browser.

thank you! this worked for me as well. weird that there is no message to turn off ad-block or anything you just had to guess?

Damn. I was hoping Cabral might be in closer to 8:30 shape. Looks like he's got a really big hill to climb.

the live splits stopped working with about 1000 to go. dunno if that influenced any of the announcing.

but there were splits working fine for 5 laps. so no excuses on that front

anyone got a link to a free stream on twitch or something? I know its a long shot...
