Mismas looks good, wins heat, then DQ'd.
Filip I does not qualify for final.
"Integrated feed", as usual, rips the 3000s to shreds....

Barega and Tsegay apparently disregarded the altitude issue, and both paid a big price. Also, Tsegay and Hailu had to pass three lapped runners, who did...

TripleCast was great for its time, but the NBC Gold coverage of Rio and London was far better: separate feeds for each field event and even a feed for...

The issue here is not the finish, as defined in T&F rules; it's intermediate times. It's the difference between the "flash time" at the...

Last season, for the few DL meets that took place, they didn't have the separate feeds for field events. Also, the DL meets in the US use NBC's feed,...

It appears that Prime Time is doing the Big 12 Indoors and the NCAA DI Cross Country champs.

When she was "interviewed" after the race, I don't recall that Andrea Joyce or Sydney said anything at all about the 500. They signed off before...

Well, it's accurate in the sense that the triggering event occurred at that exact time; for example, in swimming the "finish" is defined as...

You should try to find the article about Brady and Mahomes; I think it was in the Wall St. Journal. The chip times you see on T&F results go to 1000ths....

I'm thinking NextGen Stats or that other one you see on football broadcasts. I read an article about Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl....

I watched today's NBGP on Peacock today. It started at 12:15 PST. At first, it was Paul Swangard talking about the venue/location, then nothing for a...

??? 14:06, 26:11???
Of course, those don't represent 2%; the exact advantage is less than that, but an advantage is clearly there. Wait until we...

The premium is $4.99/mo, but there is also a "commercial-free" version for $9.99/mo. I'm wondering whether we will be getting commercials on...
