World Championships start this weekend with a few Aggies competing.

I know NBC is broadcasting some of it this weekend. Does anybody know what times it will be on and what events they plan on showing?

Hope this helps:

NBC and Versus will have TV coverage. NBC on the weekends and Versus during the week. Not sure if any of the TV coverage will be live.

I love that picture, I saved it the minute I saw it!

Edgar about to run

DQ, didn't look like a false start to me

Bolt won easily, would have liked to see what Edgar could do

and Bolt sets another WR, 9.58.

Bolt shaved 0.11 seconds off the record he set at the Beijing Olympics, beating defending champion Tyson Gay on Sunday, who set a U.S. record of 9.71 seconds.

In the fastest 100 ever, Asafa Powell earned a bronze with a time of 9.84 in Berlin.

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Usain Bolt just broke the world record - 9.58

Tyson Gay set the American record wit a 9.71

he got fourth... fourth in the world ain't too bad

True that!

Is your signature for Aggie pole vaulters, Aggie rhythmic gymnasts, or Aggie ninjas?

why didn't jessica beard run the 4 x400m final?

She wasn't as fast as the finalists - her job was to run the prelims to let a finalist rest.
