I have the NBC broadcast and it was great except they cut out three minutes. Isn't there a cable channel or something called HDTV that shows more of the track races, maybe they had it in full? What about the CBC, BBC, or Eurosport channels, was the race in full? Or another channel?

Mike, Eurosport, CBC, and the BBC are all very good about giving coverage of distance races in full.
I would imagine they would respond with an e-mail.

His e-mail is
teneleven90matthews@btinternet.comHe has every race I have heard of in full and I will likely soon contact him for copies of Kenenisa Bekele's world 5,000 meter record (but not for the Olympics 5K: hopefully that comes from your site!)
Hope you find what you are looking for and keep uo the good work with the website.
Thanks for the links they rule. I am in contact with George Matthews and Ritchie McCallum but I am trying to get videos from Andreas Janssen. All three of them have similar amounts of Hicham El Guerrouj races. Like 110+ each person. I only have the NBC broadcast and it's perfect except for the three minutes they skipped. This was the final non relay event in track&field stadium, they always save best for last, yet NBC skipped part of the race, oops but I thought it was good they interviewed Hicham. I also have interviews of Hicham after Zurich 2003 and World Champs 2003.
