Official Grand Slam Track Kingston - Day 1 Live Discussion Thread

Crowd seems like it's actually filling up a. Little bit? I think Icahn may have appeared packed. Not a great stadium choice.

Jumpman on YouTube has a better stream than TotalRunningProductions, he actually knows a thing or two about track too

You ain’t kidding. This cannot last, not to the tune of $30 mill/yr. Format is creative, better to integrate into existing, established series like for the DL final.

Wow 44.34

Runners don't really care about field events, but they're the background music of track and field TV productions that take the place of awkward silence or excessive analysis. GST has this infield studio desk, but there's only so much conversation we can handle.

The boys bringing it 44.3.

Your Tokyo world champion, Chris Bailey

Hmm. Good 400. Very good.

Creator stream is horrible with no video of the races. Going to find something else to do on a Friday. Will check results later.

Paulino and Naser were going ALL out as they know that battle todya will be worth $100,000 tmw.

The two race format is fascinating. We'd never really thought about this before. Butt i's over now for Gabby. She's not winnning the 100k unless Paulino gets beat by Naser tmw.

So the format totally changes everything about track - what was a simple sport where you control you own destiny is no longer like that.

Bailey! True 400m man. It’s shocking that his listed 200 is well over 21 seconds, I imagine he’ll rewrite that in this meet.

The free streams that are up on YouTube are absolutely abysmal. Stuck on one camera angle and can't see anything that is going on.

what? no. maybe in an ideal world but not when they cut away from the 5,000 to show pole vault heats. good riddance

The Total Running Productions YouTube stream is a disaster. Yes, it’s free so maybe I shouldn’t complain. But this is an embarrassment of a production. We might as well be listening on the radio.

I suddenly don’t blame Jakob and Noah for not wanting to ruin their brands by associating with this production.

Best part so far

The next interesting thing Anson Henry says will be his first.

lotta brokies in here whining about the free stream. peacock is like 10 bucks a month

If they’re not going to have field events then why tf don’t they put a shark tank or some strippers out there to keep the entertainment up
