Re: Bislett - Friday

It looks like Fox has picked up the Golden League this year. Tvguide.com is listing an hour of Bislett on Saturday, June 12th: Fox Sports Central at 2 pm CDT, Fox Sports Southwest at 5 pm CDT, and Fox Sports Pacific at 6 pm CDT. As always, however, check your local listings!

JJ isn't going to be running in Oslo anymore. He DNF'ed his race in Seville because of tightness in his quads, so now he's back home in Texas to get it all sorted.

Webb has scratched from 1500m, he's going home to train, then run Preclassic mile, not bislett

Two hours five minutes from now on tv here. I will have a thread named "Bislett - TV Results" which I will update at 22.00 (13.00 PST/16.00 EST) as soon as the meet is over (I don:t have a jack in my tv room for "live" updates.).

Re: Bislett - Friday

The first event, the men's discus, starts at 18:15 local event time, which is about 15 minutes from now.

At 19:20 they hold the B-final in the men's 2000, at 19:30 is the opening ceremony, and then the events start in earnest at 19:45.
