CBS' finish line camera

...is NOT on the finish line. How the hell can they try to show a finish like that men's 400m from an angle?! ARGH!

No worse than the head-on shots of the LJ and the women's 100m.

I can't see the feed of course, but your note moved me to go and look. They have two cameras right on the finish line, high up. I'm guessing they moved to something elsewhere for the 400 finish.

it is for every finish...the cam is past the line

shot from the side? That one's right on the line

youll have to see it on tv. It is like 2 meters past the line. All the slomo finishes are shown from this camera. When they have shown close finishes, it is impossible to see who actually won because of the angle.
