Wayne Davis III and Deon Lendore both qualified well to the semi finals of the 110m Hurdles and 400m just now.

Davis a sneaky chance of medal I think.

Ugh. I keep missing the broadcast.

Coverage is horrendous. Why this gets tucked away on Universal while NBCS shows crap like fishing on HD all day and night is bogus.

Set dvr for today's coverage and it cut off the 4x400 rounds. Did see Felix crash to the track though, that sucked

Jessica Beard with a sub 50 second leg in the 4x400 prelims, will most likely get her a run in the Finals with Felix getting hurt.

Also, thanks Nick for not spoiling it for us over in the states, since we have to wait a couple more hours.

Well it appears that the finals for the 100m hurdles and 4x400 will be on Universal Sports tonight at 8pm CST. Just semis on NBC now.

nevermind just showed it

That was a colossal F up on that last exchange. Why the McCorory wasn't on the inside is baffling. Spencer was on the inside the entire time.

That was awful by runners 2 and 3.

Ato Boldon just did a good job of explaining a rule that even as a former 4x400 runner I didn't know existed. You always see people swapping at the line for position. That last exchange was awful.
Smokedraw01
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What was the rule? Can't change positions after hitting the straightaway?
Pahdz
How long do you want to ignore this user?
whoever is leading at the 200m mark gets the inside lane.

just had a twitter exchange with Ato, said it's a IAAF rule, but in NCAA on down you can swap all the way to right up before the exchange.

Interesting can get away with that at NCAA. Was unaware of that...Pretty dangerous to allow that. Gets hectic at those exchanges.

That was one of the greatest women's 4 x 400's I have ever seen what a great race!

PS Padhz: No problem. Nothing worse than trying to watch a sporting event on delay and someone spoiling it!

Try first row sports for some solid live streams.

Great to see Curtis Mitchell Snag a medal. Guy clearly should have stayed longer at A&M, but what a great effort to resurrect his career and he know has a chance to really challenge for gold come rio......Bolt is showing know he was struggle to really get into career best shape again

wow WTF was English Gardner doing? that was a massive screw up.

future does look bright though for USA's 100m women. Octavious Freeman and Gardner are going to be good for a long time. Freeman sucked up some gals on that anchor.

A shocker. I know they have run plenty of relays but thats the youngest relay team the US has had in years. That same four could be the team for Rio. Bright Futures
Pahdz

absolutely. The USA is loaded with some young talent on the women's side, but the men's is still lacking (although before Gatlin's little wiggle we looked good)
