Streaming coverage just started. Audio a little garbled (at least for me).

Interesting that the Nike logo is placed before the USATF logo on the team wall:

Actually, not yet. Stock car racing now. Check back later, I guess?

So they didn't fill Nick Symmonds lane. Anyone know who was #33 on the list?

Sucks for him.

As far as I can tell, there is no TV broadcast of the meet right now. A pirate stream of the TV broadcast would be the easy way to get around, if the NBC site is Geo-Restricted.

Otherwise, you can use a proxy server or VPN to pretend you're in the US.

Windle, White, Jock are the auto qualifiers

Solomon 4th by 0.007 and given the slow pace 1:48.71 may very well go home devastated

solomon 4th

Duane Solomon doesn't get an auto-qualifier!

SOLOMON IS DONE

wow wtf was Solomon thinking?? He let up on the finish after leading wire to wire and gets 4th...smh

Solomon in danger of not moving to the semis ... he led the race and coasted in but got pipped at the line by 3 guys

And the trials start out with a bang. Duane Solomon led the first heat throughout and looked amazing for 700. Suddently three guys came up on him in the last 50 and he was just 4th. Only the first three move on so he'll have to see if he advvances.

Who is doing the commentary on the digital stream? He appears to be alone, but so far is doing a pretty great job with the play by play as well as giving good info on the athletes. Tentatively impressed.
