*For the sake of competitive balance, I would love to see the other shoe companies step it up a bit. Nike seems to have a chokehold on getting the top runners. Jerry's kids and AlSal's team are a cut above the others. They truly are able to get the most talented athletes.
Sorry to say, Hanson's, etc., just don't attract the same quality athlete. Yes, there is one or two here and there, but there isn't any depth. They just hope to catch lighting in a bottle. Nevertheless, I hope they continue to support American distance running. We need more of them.
I would like to see Adidas, NB and Puma do some more support of athletes. I know it is a business, not a charity, but the marketing guys must have some residual quotient formula from sponsoring T&F athletes. Personally, as a distance guy, I don't think I would buy a Bolt Puma shirt, even though I like him more than any of our 100m men.
*I admit it, I would buy a NOP t-shirt if it was for sale.
*Is 10,000 views for last night's 10k a good number? I don't know. If I take all the college distance people and the younger fans, I would expect it to be a larger number.
*As others posted, the feed was excellent and Tim Hutchings is heads and shoulders above anything we have. He is a pro and our announcers, if they care, should be sitting by his feet learning from him!
