Wow, shocking developments here:
-They show f*cking triple jump during the 5k

What an awful season of track this has been.
I don't know this for sure, but, sometimes there is no choice over what comes through the local feed and they just have to commentate on what they get from the organisers (not sure if this is the case in Brussels). In Europe there's more interest in field events, e.g. when it was in Sweden, there were a lot of field events shown.
