later heats what the cut-off time was for moving on. But that assumes we will see heats of anything other than sprints ... Maybe the women's 1500. Another wish-list is that when they post the results, they include the wind information. Rarely is it there. Arthur Snoke On Sat, 2 Sep 2000 [

I concur with the comments below -- Morceli's losing race would have been reason enough to be seen, even if no American were in it. I taped the late night show and watched the 800 this morning. No comment on the air about what I guess was a disqualification. I really am coming to resent the cov

I do not recall seeing any mention about the existence of videos summarizing the T&F part of the Olympics. Do any exist? If so, how are they and how does one get a copy?

Yes, the mechanical work expended is proportional to the weight, so a heavier runner expends more energy to run up a hill than does a lighter runner. But that does not explain why the same runner, running at the same pace on the same course (and with the same air resiatance and friction) will suff

t-and-f: ESPN telecast

2006-05-24 Thread Arthur Snoke
I watched most of the ESPN telecast last Saturday. For the most part I enjoyed it, but I have one complaint: The camera shots showing the last several seconds of the women 1500 was a straight-on shot showing the winner from the waist up. I hope that choice was made by the photographer onl
