This is why track has no fans. The winning time is not showing up on the screen for the winner. Then it shows how far behind 2nd through 8th place are. WTF??
Look to the right brosef... they do show it. Agree though that the formatting is odd. Same with showing speed in only kph in the distance events and not showing lap splits.

Why not just put the ACTUAL TIMES on the screen?
Right after the race they only show how far every one was behind the winner. Then later on they eventually do show everyone's times. The delay in showing the times is really stupid.
Clearly whoever at NBC made that decision is not a track fan, because there is no track fan that thinks not showing the times right away is a good idea.

They clearly have everyone's results because they can calculate the differences. Just put the damn results on the screen, not the differences.
and during the 10000, they obnoxiously took up 1/3 of the screen with the kph screen, that nobody asked for, for long stretches
Yeah that's idiotic as well. Nobody knows what KPH is. Most non-track fans wouldn't even know what MPH means in relation to what time they are on pace for.

No, actually most of the world, including me, know what kph is. Although personally I think it is stupid to put any kph/mph on the screen. Better to keep the clock running and show the 400m splits.

Yes, bugs me too. Very strange, almost as if they are trying to hide the one thing that people most care about.
