    Wish I could see the seconds leading up to that. Was it a case where he messed up, not realizing they were already coming, so he quickly decided to hold his ground, like he planned it all along?

    There was a break in races on the track for 15-20 minutes prior to the steeple so he was probably trying to get some different angles for the triple jump that he could not get when the track was in use.

    However, he couldn't hear the gun? the screams? His headphones covered only one ear. He didn't have the awareness to watch for a race starting?

    His credential is in plain view. Can't someone identify him and his affiliation?

    I'd like to see the footage he got. Would be pretty unique for a championship event!

    re: 89 steps

    There was an Official 12 foot away from him. I’d been watching him for a while. He looked around 70 or older and had seemed half asleep - not spotting TJers running across the track when the 200m heats were running. He had a platted gray ponytail and looked like a 60s hippy / stoner.

    re: Sovietvest

    This "worlds" has literally appeared like a poorly-run high school meet to me.

    The cat-calling on the line during the women's 1500 reminded me of a high school basketball game I attended once, where they had metal detectors at the entrance.

    Can someone explain how he didn’t get run over like the official at the Stanford Invite? I was waiting for a train wreck.

    Amazing that the steeplers actually just ran around him. What possessed them? Shouldn't they have stopped and screamed and yelled how they are being personally hurt by someone making a mistake.

    Better question is why did the inconsiderate runners surround him like that. It could have been very startling. Poor Camera guy.

    Poor Camera guy?

    He was ON THE TRACK AT A TRACK MEET. Surprised he didn't stand in the javelin landing zone.

    re: rez

    Dude should be canned forever and this clip shown as an example to everyone (including athletes) allowed on the field. At the very least, the cameraman had the presence of mind to remain still. Had he freaked and jumped to one side, he'd have knocked over several runners.

    GoPro's Gopro 10 with its small size and superior stability control.

    Maybe he really hates track and field and wanted to make sure he never gets another assignment doing it again.

    Consider that.

    Cat-calling ?? missed that - what was being said?

    The empty, small stands make the meet look amateurish
