Woohoo! They're showing the women's long jump while the men's 10k is on. A gold star for these guys. Awesome coverage.

I understand them showing it in some way because obviously somewhere someone cares, but they show so much down time. We don't need to see them standing around before, walking away after, or all the crowd shots.

Ok, Klishina is done. Nobody gives a $hit about this long jump crap anymore. Seriously, get back to the 10,000. This is pathetic.

SPLIT SCREEN, you jerkasses.

replays of failed attempts and people walking about, crowd scans and such... what the hell

EuroSport is also showing the women's long jump -- final jumps. I suppose it is the feed from the Koreans. A bit sexist really -- good looking Russians and Swedes, but no Africans.

I'm sure the full race video will come out eventually, as long as we get the last 1600m live, could be worse, the frisson of seeing it live is still there.

Haha, is it Universal Sports where the announcers are bitching about the long jump coverage? Eurosport don't seem bothered.

5k 13.52

Race is super slow by the tweets I'm reading....settting up Mo Farah win with Rupp in close.

bekele is looking contact about 10 meters off the lead pack

We're getting the same view here in China on CCTV-5. All long jump, no 10k. This blows.

And now we're watching the victory lap.
