2678 on Cox and 624 on DirecTv. I will have this on a lot.
Lots of good coverage of the 2017 IAAF World Championships a couple of weeks ago. I think they pretty much covered every event in some capacity.
I love a good track and field meet, and this one blew others out of the water. Upsets everywhere. Stunning results and lots of American success.
I was actually a little sad to see Usain Bolt lose, both in the 100 and then pull up injured in the 4X100 (which he wasn't going to win anyway).
I am hard pressed to narrow the highlights to just a few, but here were a couple that stood out to me.
Qatari high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim HURDLES (that's right, hurdles) 6'4" in warm ups. Not surprisingly, he won the gold.
Both men's and women's 4X100 relays.
Women's marathon, I know, I know, but for a marathon it was an exciting finish.
Various highlight clips
An insane women's 1500 final. Watch the race unfold, the numerous changes of pace, the full on sprint to start the last lap, and then Jenny Simpson's late close when she looked done for the silver, and the controversial South African Caster Semenya finishing 3rd. You can't miss her, look for the guy.
And my personal favorite, an incredible race where the leader got lost on the 2nd lap, the lead changed about 20 times, and 1st steeplechase gold for an American in any international competition in more than 60 years, the women's 3K Steeplechase. 9 minutes, but I promise it's worth the watch.
He may be a bit heavy handed for some, but I love the commentary from Ato Bolden. Read up on him sometime, he's a unique dude to say the least. He may have been a bit excited when T&T won the 4X400 Gold.
