    Meet is on TV now. NBCSN in the States.

    I'm actually curious what they are showing right now?

    They really drag this stuff out. Very little action today but they take 50 minutes to do heats of the 200.

    Big news so far is Christian Coleman didn't start the 200.

    Women's 100 Final, Men's Triple Final, Women's Pole Vault. Men's 800 Semis coming up.

    I could tell you were moderating when both the racist thread and the stupid jamin political thread got taken down. Thanks Wejo.

    Carry on.

    Why these athletes don't announce in advance what they are going to compete at is beyond me. It makes nonsense of the contests unless you happen to hear something just before the event begins and can change your picks. Same thing with Amos, too late to change. At least I heard about Hassan doing the 5 instead of the 15 in time.

    Steve Cram just said that she hasn't decided on the 1500 (which she wants to do) or 5000m (which Salazar wants her to do).

    That moran Boldon doesn’t even know sprinter’s names.

    “Michelle Ahouré“

    He has messed up other ones, too.

    The guy is terrible, how is it that NBC thinks he’s the best thing for them?

    Except for CC, SAFP/ET, SMU, and Lyles, no sprint times are other-worldly. Good to see, including from Americans.

    Ato Boldon's outstanding. I forgive the occasional mistake on names for commentators who know their sport otherwise.

    Ta Lou and even ET had great sustained turnover.

    Luckenkemper missed the start.

    Daniels watching times, good effort from her.

    Ta Lou at 10.87 in the semis, enough said. Thompson only at 11.00, saving her achilles for the finals. Now Michael Johnson is saying that she's been struggling with achilles problems, some good days, some bad. Why don't you ever hear this stuff before the events start?

    Boldon is instanding. He is the consummate insider. He is too clubby, too chummy. He does a decent job of analyzing sometimes, but tbh a lot of times he is reading from a sheet, or reciting remarks he prepared beforehand that aren’t accurate in view of what actually happened.

    He’s too “in”, and not sufficiently genuine for me.

    Klosterhalfen STILL hasn't decided for 1500m or 5000m. It's getting ridiculous.

    I am enjoying watching everything live without commercials. Also, a lot of the Americans are getting interviewed by Norwegian broadcasting.

    Another good day to follow track.

    (Not missing NBC after 15 years in the USA)

    Gardner had a BIG injury during the 100m semi, couldn't slow down to a stop and face-planted at high speed after 60m. But the injuries/bruises from the fall on the track are the least worries, I hope the injury is not going to affect Olympics.

    It probably had to do with the taped thigh, but I'm not sure.

    DAS looking like a medalist.

    Gardiner out injured, will be a blow for the USA relay.

    Fecent race from Kambundji, waiting on time
