My thoughts on the meet and its broadcast...
Race of the Day: Men's high jump (technically not a race, but whatever). Won by Tora Harris in a rather long jump-off. Too bad we didn't get to see any but the final attempts. Honorable mention: men's mile, a slow-start / fast-finish affair.
Trend: The studs didn't show up, making this easily the weakest meet of the Visa Championship Series so far this year. MIA included Shawn Crawford, Lashawn Merritt, David Krummenacker, Bernard Lagat, Belota Asmerom, Brad Walker, Gail Devers...
This Week's TV Gripe: Why do the announcers have to tell us how many laps are left? It's easy enough to put it in the little time/event box at the bottom of the screen.
Other notes: AT&T plugged a nice little fansite...Carl Lewis talked about professionalism, which was his constant battle with TAC leadership...
