Ummm, they already have this camera. They use it in Euro meets, it's been used for awhile now.
These meets can somehow only warrant 1 hour of TV time right now, usually shown in an undesirable time slot like Friday night, or a different night at 1 AM. How is it that "HHUUUuuuFFFF .... HhhUUUUFFff" and the rhythmic slapping of spikes is going to entice non-track-fans to watch track that is already on TV now? If they want heavy breathing they can go to the strip club.

Hey, I just had an idea. Anyone remember the running scenes from Endurance? They were spectacular. Copy that. Maybe people can watch 15-30 minutes of straight race coverage if packaged right. Track needs a chase camera going all the way around the track. Even better would be to somehow mic the athletes during competition. Come on now, I know the technology is out there somewhere. A very very small remote camera? Somehow mic the athletes footsteps around the track. We need to hear these guys breathe and run.
