Just have to say I hate how NBC handles T&F.
Lots of big things like always setting up a "rivalry" when it is more wide open and not showing into of every starter. Intercutting with swimming.

but also the little things.
Victor's chiron just says # of Olympics appearances. Neugebauer notes that and tu affiliation.

Watch on E! and USA Network, it is continuous T&F coverage without all the hoopla from NBC main channel

Wow that's an epic upset. And yet I'm not overly shocked


Not really, Alfred is an absolute superstar and if you watch Diamond League you'd see how good she is.

Fun to see her win St Lucia's first ever medal!

I know Ryan Crouser is the GOAT shot putter of all time, but Joe Covacs is the absolute most CLUTCH putter ever. If you're ever bored lookup the 2019 Doha WC shot put competition. Universally agreed the greatest throws competition in the history of field events.

Our anchor is a 19 year old kid who just finished her freshman year of college.

Femke Bol is one of the bonafide superstars of global T&F

Peacock has a T&F multi view which is really cool, and lets you see it all

Calling it now US doesn't get gold in the men's 100m either. Things don't look right. Hope I'm wrong, will know more after the semis though.

To be fair, Shacarri's terrible starts were gonna catch up to her one of these days. How that has never been addressed in several years is beyond me. Lyles just needs to focus up. Fred and Kenny also looked good

That is a really nice seat location. How is the stadium?

Nice setup! Only a small strip of the stadium is in the sun, and it's not my side fortunately. Seats are a tad wider and more leg room than the soccer stadium which is great bc yesterday watching the USWNT was rough on my knees.

Fred Kerley races at 1:05! He might have the toughest semi with Kishane Thompson of Jamaica, Omanyala of Kenya, and Highes of Britain

Crazy how none of the big 3 Jamaicans were able to go Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, Elaine Thompson-Herah… I bet their fans, where track and field is everything to them, are going through it lol
