Terrible coverage by NBC. Showed record jump and once miss at world record jump.

NBC has the worst coverage of field events. They would rather cover 50 million false starts and try to create little stories about all the people who will probably be busted for drugs next year. I wasted so many hours of my life nodding through the endless marion jones/maurice green/gail devers/gatlin/regina jacobs chatter while they totally ignore the field events. It makes me want to puke.

right on about watching 400 false starts. I TiVo'd the meet and watched the jump probably 30 times!!! Awesome thing for the male and female VISA Championship Series to be lead by Pole Vaulters :yes:
