Unread postby rainbowgirl28 » Sun Aug 17, 2008 11:07 pm

This is where I will be posting live updates, beginning a little before 7:20am eastern/4:20am pacific.

Jeff Hartwig will be providing live updates from Beijing where he is in the athletes village and has a live feed from the meet.

DO NOT discuss results anywhere else on this site until late tomorrow night when they air on the west coast TV.

I hope some of you are getting up early to follow the action. I'll be kind of bored if I am just talking to myself!

They never announce the exact time they will air anything, but if Jenn does well I would guess it will air pretty late at night tomorrow night on NBC.

If you are lucky enough to have the Canadian station, they might show it live, at least the end of it.

From the IAAF live updates:

19:03
There's a light rain falling now on the infield. Without any wind, we're not getting wet here in the tribune, but as the grass gets wet the discus is skipping into the net on many throws.
