    Rojo we've been at the track for an hour!

    Pretty cool venue for a convention center.

    Men's 60m prelims underway. Ashton Eaton ran and got lost in his heat.

    Then national anthem and then meet officially starts for fans which there aren't many of right now and then 800s.

    This sucks. I'm on the southeast coast and I'm not getting a stream. The page comes up fine but there is no stream . . . just a blank box.

    Stream is here: http://live.usatf.tv/liveusaindoor2016.html

    Trayvon Bromell just won his heat in his first USATF championships as a pro for New Balance.

    I wonder if last year Nike had big things in store for him. Seeing him in New Balance reminded me of this picture from NCAAs last year

    National anthem has been sung. Lights are dimmed and main portion of meet is starting with women's 800 semis.

    We've had 3 false starts in the women's 800m. Something is wrong with the gun.

    4th time is a charm. They are off with more traditional IAAF gun sound.

    Wow. Fireworks in women's 800. Possible DQ for Roesler but I don't see a flag.

    Roesler won the heat but she pushed Fricker outside in the final 20 meters with her hand. Top 3 of her and Wright were all together.

    No results, stats, or pertinent info (e.g. "How to advance to the final") being shown on screen. Way to go USATF! Real viewer friendly!

    Watching on the stream and looked like Roesler stepped in front of Fricker, but the camera angle was poor and they haven't showed a replay. But, yeah, looked questionable by Roesler.

    Another great W 800 finish. Kind of exciting having only the winner going thru for sure...

    So we can get a replay on the homestretch of the second heat of women's 800 but not the clear push from the first heat?
