Anyone know where you can watch the World Junior Championships online? It seems the USA has a good chance to medal in the young men's 800m, young ladies 800m and 1500; however, Jorday Hasay says she think she can medal in the 3000m. Does she know there will be more than one Kenyan and Ethiopian in the 3000m field?
I'm taking the summer off and going surfing. The next WC is Daegu 2011 which is 13 months away.
It shows that only one event will be held on the first day is that accurate? It seems like a giant waste of time to schedule one race on the first day, that can't be right.

Jordan Hasay chance at a medal is very slim; however, I hope she pulls of the upset and grab a medal in the 1500m. Her chance of medaling in the 3000m is as good as a snowball chance of frozen in the Arizona's desert sun. The runners I'm looking forward to seeing is the 800m Robby Andrews (boys) and Ajee Wilson (girls).
Still can't believe a U.S high school sophmore girl spilt 2:00.59 in the 800m!!
Anyone know where you can watch World Junior T&F online? I tired Universal Sports but couldn't find the actual meet live.
Try this link but opening cermonies don't start for antoher 4 or 5 hours.

Women's 3000m first event and I'll be surprised if Mercy Cherono is healthy and not snatch the Gold Medal!
Also looks like it will be here:

Hasay vs Sisson in 3000m should be interesting.
Jordan vs Sission will have more on their hands than watching each other. What about Mercy Cherono sub 14:50, the two Ethiopian 18 year olds, the young lady who ran 8:49indoors- do you think they will be a factor in the race?
certainly...I'm not expecting Hasay to be a factor in the race but I'm curious whether she will beat her rival Sisson. Hasay lost to Sisson at USA juniors but then she said afterwards that her main goal was just to get on the worlds team.
Jordan's chances of medaling in the 3000 are slim, our athlets are H.S. kids and college freshman, while for the Africans this about getting a pro contrat. Half of the African girls you will never hear from again and the other half will be running in Europe before the end of this year. Traditionally, the African juniors females in events 800 and up are as good if not better than our best NCAA athletes and unless Jordan is ready run close 9 flat, her chances at a medal are slim.
However, the top Africans have been known to blow up or not show up, sometimes last minute VISA problems and other issues that never get explained. There was one year where an Afrfican male was interviewed after a race in Europe and he mentioned he was looking forward to his twin sister's world juniors race next week, but this young lady never showed up. Perhap it had something to with this athlete's DOB putting him at age 22. Anything can happen and Jordan is the best shot we have in many years at just being competitive.
The reason there's only one event today is that the 3000 metres will be part of the opening ceremonies. Tomorrow the regular schedule begins.
Cherono is the clear favorite, however Layes ABDULLAYEVA from Azerbaijan could have something to say with a 8:49 PB
VIPAM keep in mind Hasay took 4th two years ago after tons of racing and traveling (she set the HSR just mere days earlier and had to run numerous rounds). She is clearly in better shape now, and definitely has a medal shot.
I think Jordan Hasay best chance at a medal at this year World Jr is in the 1500m where I believe is she CAPABLE of a sub 4:10. In the 3000m I don't see where she have a chance at a medal if the pace is honest. I agree with the guy who mentioned the 8:49i runner possibly being Mercy Cherono stiffest competition along with the two Ethiopians.
Unless there are some wierd tactics and the race is slower than 9:00- I don't see Jordan medaling in the 3000m.
In fact if I was her coach/US World Jr head coach I would have her bypass the 3000m and focus on the 1500m! Maybe she'll prove me wrong and improve to sub 9:05 in the 3000m but I don't think it will be slow enough for her to medal.

Aisling Cuffe might have something to say about this, especially if it's hot.
Does anyone have a dew point report?
None of the links above works right now. Anyone know if they will be up in a hour for opening ceremonies? Can't wait to see the girls 3000m.
my picks
1. Mercy Cherono (Ken)
2. Genet Yalew (Eth)
3. Layes Abdullayeva (Aze)
4. Purity Rionoripo (Ken)
5. Gulshat Fazlitdinova (Rus)
6. Embet Antenen (Eth)
7. Jordan Hasay (USA)
7th still would be a decent accomplishment in the 3000m for Jordan but 1500 is where she rocks with medal potential!

That links only works if you're in Canada. Looks like we're SOL.
Gonna try:
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/amateur/moncton2010/live-stream.html
in less than 25 minutes, hopefully it works. If not BOLD is also credited with showing World Jr LIVE!
IS anyone getting the LIVE Stream??
The only time track and field fans around the world focus on Canada and they prohibt the entire World Junior meet from being streamed live outside of Canada. IAAF sucks for granting the 3rd world country the meet and Canada SUCKS for being so selfish towards the rest of the world T&F fans! Canada SUCKS royally!
