Pedro's Cup, Szczecin, 17 September

[Powell]

And nobody outside of the stadium could see it because the camera wasn't working...

Nobody outside of Poland, perhaps, but it could be seen on Polish TV

9.89 officially confirmed, wind speed was +1.1

I know :evil:

Camera was working fine (Eurosport). Just happened to be focussed on starter as he pulled the trigger. Then it slowly panned to show--"9.89"--on the results board. Not a millisecond of the race shown live. Is that a first?

[Powell]

I have no idea why that happened. The race was shown live on TVP, and the pictures were just fine :?

Well, a camera was working, but not the right one who would cover the race. I don't understand why they couldn't switch to the right spot immediately, there was a lot of time inbetween the malfunction and start of the race.

The Olympic champion had a putt close to 21 meters in the second round

Even Tiger would be proud of a 69-footer!!
(It's the Shot Put)

[Powell]

I know you're the TOE, and it's not my native language, but I've heard the word being used in T&F context many times, e.g. from the British Eurosport commentators. The event is called the shot put, but they call a throw a putt. Maybe it's one of those British-American things?

Another solid performance by Melaine Walker to end the season, 54.55. Did she even lose a single race this year ?

She lost her first GP race in Sydney in Februrary, but after that, 12 straight wins. Fantastic season for her. Now if she could just fix that hurdle technique! :wink:
