Why would you want to be in a situation (that you really cannot control) where you have to find a race where you have the possibility to run sub 3:35.01 by 7/20? Flying all over Europe chasing a time is hardly the best way to “sharpen up” for a World Championship.
I'm pretty sure it's standard to fly over to Europe in the summer and run some races prior to major championships. I know that if I were an elite 1500m runner, I'd rather run 3:33 in mid-July than mid-May.
It’s one thing to go over and run some races in Europe to stay/get sharp, but it is another to HAVE to hit a specific time. BTW none of these three even have the “B” standard (3:37.00). These standards are not that easy to get. You have to find the right race and then come through. My guess is Centro will get a “B” standard and Leo and Lopez don’t go to Moscow.
With Queen Harrison making the 100mH this year and 400mH in 2008 and 2011, had me wondering what the list of hurdlers that have competed in both hurdle events in OGs/WCs... or even better yet, medaled in them. Any hurdle historians out there?

gay wins semis in 20.07 with a small headwind
felix and tarmoh both through to finals along with townsend and bayne, 2nd heat running now
edit: apparently Gay was DQed for stepping out of his lane too much but i'm not watching live, just checking results.
according to usatf results online, he hasn't been DQed
anyone have a link for a live feed for running events? i dont care about throws, sorry usatf.tv
stream for running events anyone?
I wish I knew. I can't find one.
The USATF.tv feed is showing field events, Runnerspace doesn't work and I can't watch NBC Sports. Does anybody know of any other links? I watched an uploaded feed on Nutjob yesterday, will that be on when NBC starts coverage at 3:00 Central?
i've got it on a local channel so i'll update you guys

I have an irrational hatred for Montano. Hope she bombs the final.
I begrudgingly applaud that performance. Still hate her race tactics though.

Great race. Really wanted B-Mart to catch Montano. Ajee finally breaks through, good stuff.

yup, according to wikipedia and diamondleague website
Breaks 2 ("A" Standard). But no recognition by NBC. Ajee will only lower that time at Worlds.
