Any live results other than the NBC coverage?

[Half Miler]

Universal Sports claims to be covering the event "live" on their site, but no video as of yet.

Anything in writing? I can watch the video on NBC, but I'd like to keep up with the scores.. the website doesn't give ongoing results round by round

6.34 for Kluft? I know it's a season opener but I dunno.

I'd love to hear Mojo's opinion on Ruky Abdulai as 6.78 is a great jump and her name is new to me.

Four relay races (two 4x100m and two 4x400) in 24 hours last weekend, then a trip six time zones away. No excuses, but a possible explanation.

Nice jump by Brianna Glenn, good to see her put up some good marks again.

Nice jump by Brianna Glenn, good to see her put up some good marks again.

Both she and the Canuck had a good series, not just good jumps.

Nice one Ruky!!!!

Ruky lives and trains in Vancouver and is originally from Ghana. She became a Canadian citizen just before the Beijing Olympics.

Her technique has ben eratic but obviously is coming together. She did the 400m for awhile as well. LJ is obviously her best event.



Nice to see two Canucks in the top three.
