Ew, why the banked track?

Depending on your location, you can watch on the Diamond League Youtube page (starts at 11:30am Eastern time): https://youtu.be/YIksAgP0mYk

Thats main feed...

But Im talking about where to see for example javelin throw from A to Z?

Note if Maggie Ewen (currently leading the SP after 3 rounds) wins here, she gets a wild card to Eugene next year.

Walsh apparently destroyed the competition...by shattering the board. They're trying to replace it.

[Atticus]

Ha. Big men break things. Like the stopboard.

Crouser looks like a caged panther, waiting for the fix.

[ATK]

ANyone knows where else to watch(exc.US) field streams/feeds?

Oooh, what's this? Kovacs leading after 2.
At 22.29.

[Atticus]

you can hear the shots landing with a bang on the elevated platform they're using

Have we ever seen sod on a platform before?

We've got wSP feed and results going, nada yet on men.
Ewen out to a nice 63-8 (19.41).
. . .
Now men started. So it's a round of W, then a round of M.

How are they going to treat the 5000 in the world rankings, given that the track is oversize, so the times are not eligible for official recognition?

I imagine this 5000 will be considered a 'road race', but with hundredths timing?
Even I, as a stat-nerd, have zero problem with a 5000 run on this track (a rare rarity) to be thrown in with 400m track times on lists. It would not, obviously, qualify as a record.

[dukehjsteve]

aaronk mentions 201 meters ok for indoor tracks... that's because of some old 220 yard ones ?

[Rack]

220 yards... 160 yarder... 146.7 yarder
385 yard

Not too odd. 8 laps to the mile, 11 laps, 12 laps! My high school's indoor track was 167.619 yards, 10.5 laps per mile.
385 yards isn't too odd, either. 7/32 of a mile. Another 55 yards makes it a right proper 440 yards, 4 laps to the mile.

If I caught the number right on the press conference, they actually got around to measuring the street track, and it's 563m.
8.881 laps per 5k, or 67m short of 9 laps. I wonder where they'll put the start and finish lines!

Thinking about it more, 563m is very close to 562.5m, or 9 * 62.5m. 16 62.5m segments per kilometer, and 80 total segments for 5k. 8 8/9 laps. It's too bad metric users don't like fractions.
