August 2, 20241 yr USA with the WR to win their heat by about 30 meters. France and Belgium for 2nd and 3rd I think. Belgium has been tough in the past in the men's 4x400 where 3 of the 4 runners were brothers.

August 2, 20241 yr Author I know I’ve mentioned this before but my mom’s across the street neighbor and friend for the past decade is Tonja Buford-Bailey and she is coaching Gabby at this Olympics and a few others. She is an amazing friend and person and it’s cool my mom is friends with an Olympian. Tonja and her hubby Victor (former NFL WR) are always helping my mom with stuff bc my mom is 76 and a widow. That's my humble brag for the day.

August 2, 20241 yr Hodgkinson wins her heat. Too bad Mu had the aggy moment at trials and there won't be the rematch from Tokyo.

August 2, 20241 yr 58 minutes ago, WBT said: It also has John Anderson who I think is a great announcer for track. He's alright. I prefer the Diffey, Boldon and Richards-Ross trio that NBC usually trots out. Diffey is decent at play by play, Ato and Sanya have a nice rapport, and Sanya is a Texas-Ex who is very easy on the eyes. Only knock is they're out of their depth beyond the 400m.

It's put out by the Olympics for distribution to any country that wants it. Most of the events on Peacock are from this unless it specifically says it's a NBC, USA, E!, etc feed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Broadcasting_Services
August 2, 20241 yr Loaded field for the men's 10K: Barega, Cheptegui, Kiplimo, Barega ... even Grant Fisher of the U.S. is top 10 on time. if you miss the start, no worries--it'll still be going more than 25 minutes later. Just now, mdmost said: 10,000M race....probably going to bet on the Kenyan winning it. Ugandan (Cheptegei) or Ethiopian (Barega) are the odds-on favorites. But if they run a tactical race, they might FAFO and give Grant Fisher a chance to win. He's got a devastating kick. Edited August 2, 20241 yr by Braff Zacklin
August 2, 20241 yr Looks like the Ethiopians are trying to burn out the field. All three are in front and are cranking out 65-second laps.
August 2, 20241 yr The 10,000M always makes me think back to a good Tommy Davidson bit about the person who comes in last in that race and how much they lamented all they had to give up for 4 years just to come in dead last.

August 2, 20241 yr 13:23 for the first 5K. These guys are going to be 7 minutes+ faster for 10K than the fastest I've ever drug my ass through 5K. Pace slowing down here on lap 21, but don't expect that to keep up.
August 2, 20241 yr Wow, best Olympic 10K ever. All the top finishers would've broken the Olympic record. Brilliant run from Fisher. He got caught in traffic a bit on the final backstretch, else I think he nabs silver. But still a brilliant run from Grant. He stayed on the rail, never led, and just hung near the front.
