What a late push by Hall! Also, what happened to Norman?
That is the absolute definition of digging deep
Ugly as hell and fast!

The men's Olympic Discus Record has fallen twice today through 5 rounds! Mykolas Alkena broke his dad's record with a 69.97 throw then recent Rose Stona goes 3cm further to break it with a 70.00! One last round
Right before the gun, she sat back down on her knees in the block. The gun blew, she just say there while the rest of the field started.wangus12 said:
She got carded for Improper Conduct at the start, but I'm still looking for a video of it
Got a yellow card for causing a delay, and they re-started, but they probably should have just let the race continue while she sat there.
When the gun went off she inexplicably just settled onto both knees and didn't start. Didn't raise her hand, stand up, move, etc. just kneeled down when the gun fired.
Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.
Damn no repeat for Katie Moon. Silver in Pole Vault
Kenneth Rooks you fearless man
OH MY GOD KENNETH ROOKS
US GETS SECOND IN THE STEEPLE
He had no business on that podium but with a lap to go he said screw this and went from 8th to 1st and got himself into the podium
Helluva race. American middle distance future looking BRIGHT
9 second personal best
My thighs and hips have always hurt just watching the steeple
WHAT IS HAPPENING US MEN WINNING DISTANCE MEDALS?!
After Hocker I legit thought Rooks was gonna win
Another crazy final. Rooks wow. Almost pulled off the miracle. A personal best by 9 seconds. Took everything the Moroccan had to respond and win. Definition of throwing down the gauntlet.

We don't even compete in it at the HS level most places. It's usually a joke for the XC runners to laugh at each other.taylorswift13_ said:

It's where you stick your #4 3200 guy so he doesn't get lonely.

TRACK AND FIELD IS AN AMERICAN SPORT!!! IT NEEDS MORE POPULARITY HERE AT HOMEPahdz said:

These Olympics have been so much fun to watch. Especially T&F. I hate for it to end in a few days :-(
You are exactly right! I'm hoping maybe this can spark a discussion to place more elite high school distance runners into the steeple!

Amen...love it.
And how does the sport follow up an amazing Olympic meet?
Give media rights to Diamond League to Flotrack who puts it behind a $35/month streaming paywall

It's crazy it isn't more popular. It's always one of the most enjoyable events to watch because it always has crazy **** happen.
Yep. That pretty much kills most growth of the sport.Pahdz said:Amen...love it.taylorswift13_ said:TRACK AND FIELD IS AN AMERICAN SPORT!!! IT NEEDS MORE POPULARITY HERE AT HOMEPahdz said:

As an existing fan, I'm not paying that. Flotrack is awful. Need ESPN or NBC to buy them up.
Let's make ncaa track grow in popularity! The competition and skill has increased! Many international athletes are coming in! All throughout the Olympics you see many ncaa athletes!
The first place I'd start is that we need world athletics to increase the ranking of some of these ncaa track meets! The competition is sometimes very intense and more than a high rated American pro meet! NCAA athletes deserve to be recognized for their efforts during the season!
NBC let them buy the rights in the first place while they killed the Olympics channel that they used to have. Makes no damn sense. I watched that channel more than most everything else.TXAggie2011 said:Yep.

Hope Girma is OK after the fall, the announcers on the Peacock stream said he did not move before being placed on the stretcher

Yeah. True. They didn't even bid on it. I wonder if there will be regret after the success of the Netflix documentary and these Olympics.
And it was depressing when they poured everything into Peacock but Peacock's grown on me. And we can get it for only $4.99 a month through our DIRECTV Stream account.
I get that, lots of great college track meets with lots of quality. But it won't matter much if no one can watch most of the meets.taylorswift13_ said:

Maybe ESPN will see an opportunity to show more events.
The coach here at A&M that you have called for replacing has been instrumental in making meets more watchable. Keeping the mile run as an event as well as keeping smaller meets limited to around 3 hours of racing in order to attract future fans has been successful.taylorswift13_ said:TRACK AND FIELD IS AN AMERICAN SPORT!!!

ESPN TV coverage of T&F usually sucks, with focus only on the running events and barely a mention of the field events. The streaming of the field events are only on ESPN+ now, used to be on the free portion of WatchESPN.
They need to let me commentate our home meets for free, I'll do it for free or for a 20$ concession voucher lol
