Not a troll job. So much for my plans to watch things this evening on the east coast.
"Competition Suspended. Resumes with Long Jump at 8:30 PT / 11:30 ET and Heptathlon 800 at 9 PT / 12 Midnight ET."
wet bulb temp must have gone into the danger zone

The temperature is EXACTLY as forecast.
I wonder if someone at track overheated and they changed course because of that.
But they easily could have announced yesterday the meet was being held at 10 am pacific. It could have been shown live on NBC.
Confirmation by USATF:
New times:
Mens Long Jump 8:30PM
Heptathlon 800m 9:02 PM
Women's 400m Hurdles 9:20 PM
Women's 800m 9:30 PM
Men's 1500m 9:40 PM
Men's 200m 9:52 PM
They mentioned NBCSN will be airing when it comes live again. Anyone know if we will be able to access the same nbcolympics.com stream with the 45 minutes free pass? Or is the NBCSN stream completely separate?
Pacific time?

Taliyah Brooks collapsed right after the LJ in the Heptathlon. And she was in the mix for a spot. Phuck USATF for jeopardizing the health of the athletes. They've known about the dangerous temperatures for days. They could have rescheduled yesterday and today to the morning. I hate these people.
Yeah, all times Pacific
In the Vegas area, I do hour runs as a middle-aged man. And I don't live there either. City workers in their 40's - 50's spend all day in the heat. The events were scheduled then.

Great contribution, your 9:40 mile pace and some guy standing with a shovel are EXACTLY the same as the Olympic Trails athletes.
Also- What about family members with late night flights back, who are working tomorrow? Can be worked out, but not a great arrangement. Will flights cost more? Some employers aren't flexible.

You're right. A trials athlete in their teens, 20s, 30s, is supposed to be much more ready to handle a competition no matter the conditions. That's their job.

JFC dude get a grip. Yes maybe they should have seen this coming but you are acting like this is the first sporting event delayed by weather.
Just posted.
We already know. There's already a thread. Please don't re-post.

My guess as well is the athletes would rather compete now & not wait. I doubt Centro & Hocker are happy to delay getting it on vs another.
