The announcer is fantastic. Of course, we won't get to hear much from him after tonight,

In a way it's more irritating to know there are people like this out there while we get our ears assaulted by Rawson/Stones/Hammonds etc.

A lot of scrubs in these 400m heats

I think that one will start working at 9ET and previously you had to stream on some NBC app. That's my understanding at least.

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks

Prediction #2

Mark my words, Wariner does not advance

That's a bold prediction but I think you're right, haha

But he does! Warner lives!

I literally cannot believe Wariner still runs. Like how?

45.5 (about what he has done the past couple of years) is a shadow of what he was in his prime but it is still a solid time. If I was him I would be hanging on hoping to make one more 4x400 team also. Plus I assume he is still getting paid to run.

I have been watching on this website since 7

Bummer.

Going to full screen doesn't show anything either.

There's not even a stopped video, just nothing.

Does this continue on NBC or NBC Sports? I understand it switches from live stream to TV broadcast in about 21 mins.

Can't win 'em all. Can't say I was super inspired by his performance though. A middling time qualifier and fourth in his heat.

Stream link? Anyone using a mobile link?

Stuck at work :/

Did the NBC Sports official stream limit anyone else to 45 minutes of free viewing? Basically I'm fvcked cuz I don't pay for TV?

Okay I'll just watch the play by play here.

Please keep them coming when the 10k starts. :)

Are they going to show the 10,000m here on streaming, or cut away and force us to watch on NBC?

According to this page, the track feed starts at 6pm pacific.

We have to watch NBC for the 10K so we'll see maybe 3-4 min of the race, a couple of feel good cutaways, with horrible commentary of the race itself.

Finally, a stream that I would expect in the Year 2016. Great HD video, good camera angles, and this announcer is killing it. No back and forth banter between announcers to fill time, just one guy who is very knowledgable (and listening to his spotters) calling the races without screaming and OMGs. This is the standard that others should aspire to.

Well I'll get what I can here.

Go Lagat. Go Rupp.

Also they bookmarked where the races happen in the time bar so you can go directly to a specific race without having to hunt

Yeah, this is the best stream ever. No interruptions and the announcer is amazing. SO much better than I'm used to. Does anyone know this guy's name?
