Is that track legal? There’s a whole section missing the metal rail marking off lane 1 from the infield

Mens 400 - Both USA entries advance to final. Argentina women's Basketball team has to forfeit game today due to uniform snafu after losing to USA the other day. Knocks them out of tourney. W 800 Final next. Can anyone challenge Goule? Cuban has a 1:59 flat pr. Jazmine Fray dq yesterday - appeal failed.
Cuban has a 1:57 pr, 1:59 is SB
Women's 800.
Goule doens't front run. Big pack at 200 in about 29 mid to high. Goule midpack.
60.11 at 400 for the two favorites - the Cuban and GOule.
Goule fairly easily 2:01
Almanza and Goule side by side virtually the whole 2nd lap. Hit 600 in 131 mid. Almanza keeps slight lead until last 50 and then Goule takes in 2:01.26. I think Almanza hung on for silver but it was very tight for 2-3.
1 JAM GOULE Natoya, Viola 2:01.26
2 CUB ALMANZA BLANCO Rose Mary 2:01.64
3 URU RODRIGUEZ Deborah 2:01.66
4 BAR SEALY Sade Liah R 2:02.23

I don't understand why USATF didn't say the following. If you commit to Pan Ams, you are going whether you make the worlds team or not. If you make it to Worlds and beg off Pan Ams, then you are ineligible for the Olympic Trials next year.
The commentating on this baby abou the 800 is driving me nuts. "The 800 h as gotten so tactical in the last 3 years?" What? The 800 has been a time trial internationally during that time frame.
This stadium looks pretty sweet. I wanted NIke to do something crazy . Why didn't they put Pre Classic in this stadium this year?
Single guys, did I hear that correctly? Sand Morris is engaged to Bremudan triple jumper Tyrone Smith. They said she was engaged to someone.

Yeah Nike is going to host the USAs only DL meet in Peru.
Anyone know the Trinidad runner gave up 15 meters from the line in the 400?

IAAF has messed up on some of his results. Has him listed as an American, Daniel Estrada.
Schedule has been spot on until today, but looks like exactly 1 hour behind now? Gregorek was to go off about 4:55 ET - now looking like 5:55. How does he not win this? Lots of Finals today besides M1500. M & W 400, WHJ, WPV, M & W 400H, Ends with M4 X 100 Relay Semi. Lots of sweatshirts and jackets. Must be in the 50s.
M1500 Paulson (from Princeton) now running for Canada. Looks to be about only comp for Gregorek unless it goes super slow until way late. Not likely anyone breaks 3:40
Gregorek right to the front 58 point 400, doing all the work.
Villarreal (U of Az.) Mexico blew right by Gregorek & Paulson over last 100. 3.39.9
