A little glimpse at a packed Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during the Olympics in 1984, my most favourite ever

Let's watch @JoynerAl as he goes out to a marginally windy 17.26 (2.1) from the off to take the early lead that he will retain to the very end for the Olympic title in the men's TJ in Los Angeles 39 years ago today

The London Diamond League line-ups are ridiculously good. Probably the best depth of athletes of any DL this 2023 season.

With over 45k+ tickets sold, it's set to be the most attended T&F single event since London last hosted the DL back in 2019.

Would allowing only pros in US Nationals improve US track team and athletes? It’s a QUESTION, not a statement! Warning: This is long. Any given day a HS future pro can defeat a pro. Like any given day a HS future pro basketball player can hang 30 pts on a pro. But can they do it for a season? Can a HS or college track athlete thrive at Worlds or Olympics like a proven pro can, after a full regular season and nationals? There’s examples that say yes and examples that say no. But would the experienced pros have a better chance making teams consistently if they were only competing against other pros rather than a crowded field of pros, college, and a few HS athletes who may not make the team but knock others out of the rounds? Or even if that college athlete does make the team then lack of pro experience causes them to exit first round at the championship. THIS IS NOT ABOUT WHETHER THE HS OR COLLEGE ATHLETE DESERVES IT. THEY DO!! So please, please, please lets not debate that part. We already agree they do deserve it. Let’s focus on this. Being a pro track athlete is extremely hard. Very little support for many. College athletes have more support so sometimes better prepared. I personally have criticized pro athletes who exit US champs first round. I now realize in some cases (not all) the mental strain they live with knowing their financial situation and their life as an adult responsible for taking care of their self and maybe family hinges on making these teams and for many that stress affects their training and ultimately performance. So the question is could limiting nationals to only those, including HS and college athletes (like Erriyon) who have declared as pros, improve the lives and performances of US pro athletes and the US team? And should that be the rule? @CitiusMag @RaesTake @RunBlogRun @track_reports @VoicesofTnF @ansonhenry @FloTrack

Companies like NBC make decisions based on sound metrics for business success. Something is telling them televising USATF champs on their terrestrial channels is not good for their business. All organizations have a responsibility to do what’s best for their business. The IOC makes sure the Olympics remain good for NBC’s business. USATF have not insured these championships are good for NBC’s business, despite it being their responsibility to do so.

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

Die-hard track fans will find a way to watch, as always. But NBC TV provides a baseline level of exposure that simply does not exist on CNBC from 9-11 pm on a Sat/Sun night.

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

This is the first time since 2006 that no portion of the USATF Champs will be shown live on NBC.

USATF could typically rely on a 2-hour window on Sat and another 1-2 hours on Sun. Instead, NBC will show US Women's Open Golf & America's Got Talent.

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

I have just realized that these will in fact be reruns of America's Got Talent.

A sign of legend status is you become a standard by which others are measured. It’s actually a compliment.
