For me the biggest disappointment was related to the time the events were held, as I saw so little of it live, and I usually knew the outcome when I viewed some races later. And then because I probably only watched like 10 races, and not usually live, I felt like the championships were almost over before they started, so that was disappointing. I don’t usually feel disappointed in the results because I don’t have substantial expectations and of course the results are out of my control.

I never knew the results. I am great at avoiding things. But sporting events in Asia are always the worst from the time zone perspective. It's the reason I never look forward to them as much as others.

How about Gault or anyone from LetsRun running in the media 800? You guys had your chance to put Citius or these pseudo-media photographers trying to be social media influencers in their place.

Feels like an unforced error for WA to have three straight champs outside of Europe with Tokyo, Beijing and LA (Olympics). Suspect London gets 2029 I suppose…

Also they probably felt they owed Tokyo one after they spent all the money on the Olympics and nobody got to go

100% ⬆️, and it was awesome to see the stoke from the athletes and packed stadium.
"...we might not have known, even if knowing Tokyo time, the extent to which the time the events would be held, due to not looking at the timetable ahead of time,..." --serious word salad there, but how Can you Not understand time zones, and can't you set your BetaMax by now?

"Dissapointing" is the last 16 years of Winter Olympics held in near-tropical conditions. Moranic.

I don’t live for the World Championships moron. The disappointment is quite mild, as my life is way more important than the Championships, so the time zone factor is not that important, and maybe one day you will have a life too and not worry about athletics (as a spectator) as if your life depended upon it.
