for anyone following the decathlon.

I just started a thread on this, but I put the information here, too.

Heading into Day 10, the Jamaican men have not won a medal. The women have all the medals. The men have a chance at the 4x400.

Any thoughts on what's happening to the Jamaican men?

I must admit that 5000 overshadows everything for me. Gonna register the relay results and maybe watch them later, hoping for a new Mondo wr, but its all about the 5000 for me. Going to wake up at 03.00 at the middle of the night for it. Hope it will be a thriller. Will bet a lot that there will be at least one guy named Jacob/Jakob/Yakob at the podium.

5K has the makings to be the race of the meet, hope it lives up to the hype.

5000 going to be 🔥Fisher fit and pissed off, Jakob pissed off.

And thus the excitement builds…. How many ‘faux pas’ today by Leigh Diffey and the NBC production team.

Just reflect on Sydney’s great race when as the race starts Diffey exclaims… “here we go the women’s 4 x 400m hurdles… say what!

For the introduction of the women’s 5000m, Sifan Hassan and Guedey are introduced with no mention of the other favorite, Tsegay… and would you believe it Tsegay wins the race.

Go back to the women’s 10,000m and they go to a long commercial in the last mile only to return to the race at the bell lap…. What a blunder.

in the women’s 1500 only Kipyegon was introduced at the start. And Sinclair Johnson, the US champion, got not even one mention during the race.

Carly Simon recorded “Nobody does it Better” and it sure wasn’t with NBC and Leigh Diffey in mind.

it would be interesting to learn of Seb Coe’s views on the NBC production.

Finally, yesterday Diffey opened the NBC viewing with how difficult it was to get a seat… then the camera spun round to show hundreds of empty seats!

Watching Ayden Owens and reaffirming my fear of pole vaulting.😰

I genuinely hope this is correct. I'm very cautious in getting pumped up for it.

I am definitely pumped for the women's 800 though.

I have worries that Moraa is going to take the women’s 800. I hope not, because I love how Mu runs, but I have a bad feeling…

You would think that BTC would want to put on a show at least a little bit at the Meet that Phil Built. stick your nose in the race, even for a lap.

You would think that the idiots operating the finish line camera would show the battle for 3rd when the top 3 automatically qualify for the finals.

Barring a fall or something, it's a safe bet that Mu will pick up her second global medal tonight. Will Wilson or Rogers join Coburn with three global medals? Really surprised that only one of the GB runners made the final after they went 2, 4, 7 in the Olympics last year.

Athing Mu
2021 Olympics – 800 meters GOLD

Ajee Wilson
2017 World Championships – 800 meters BRONZE
2019 World Championships – 800 meters BRONZE

Raevyn Rogers
2019 World Championships – 800 meters SILVER
2021 Olympics – 800 meters BRONZE

I really wish it would be a fast, competitive race, but I'm guessing the first half will be an ambling mass with men elbowing and/or tripping over each other. It looks like Fisher has the 4th fastest time this year. Would it be crazy to push a fast pace?

All of the coverage issues with NBC are not new. There are complaints on this board going back many years. The good news is that now there are more alternatves. Peacock had issues but the international feed was still far better than the NBC network coverage and there was no cutting away. I would be curious what percentage of viewers actually watched only the NBC coverage and why.

You and me both… Mu is the favorite. But you gotta run the race! No participation trophies and no one came to kiss her Olympic gold medal. 🤞

If Fisher finishes 4th, I’m gonna lose my GD mind. That kid needs some hardware. After the 10K, he sounded like he thought he could’ve gotten a medal if he pushed earlier.

You don't want to stay up longer for the decatholon 1500m that is given the climax of the meet, inexplicably?

It's to honor Ashton Eaton since he's one of the best athletes the University of Oregon has ever produced.

See you in the douches
