whats up with the false start siren? Jesus that is stupid

the bibs are ugly, seats are empty, and the blue track is atrocious.

Whats it take the Q for the semis in the 800? Are there 24 qualifiers? Top 3 plus 3 from seven heats?

streaming link?

The Olympics are here. Will we see big drama right away in the men's 800 heats and women's 10k final?

We'll soon find out.

I thought you said the chicks 10 k went off @8:30. ?

C'mon man, I got work to do.

Psyched for the 20k walk

Not really a good start for Eaton

Visser is HOT

BBC Rio track link goes down 5min before M800 hts nice timing Beeb

Race bibs are SO OUT-DATED. So stupid. Once we lose those, the WRs will fall in the sprints.

yep

Also, not a great start for eaton, I hope she gets gold.

Also any link for live results?

I hope there are a lot of upsets......wish in one hand and shit in the other....see what you get

i am streaming from NBC website. IS that the best place?

This is a tough 800m heat. Not an easy run for Berian.

Third for Berian.

50/56 split for Berian....just awful. He's going to need to do better than that if he wants to make the final.

looked like berian struggled down back stretch

Berian stuggling down the homestretch. If he tries to front run in the semi's he will get crushed
