It wasn't on TV?

How is it possible none of these tracks are on TV? That is rather
staggering.

NBC wants to "save" it for its prime-time coverage.

It's ridiculous.

What exactly is wrong with you, anyway?  You put it in the subject
header just to make sure that no one can avoid knowing about it?

WHY would you post this knowing a lot of people here won't have a
chance to watch it until tonight?

BTW, Martina & Spearmon were DQ'd, so you didn't even get the results
right. Crawford was second and Dix was third.

Jaros reminds me of two literary characters: Harold Emery Lauder and
Sidney Sawyer.  Pretty much everyone is the turd in the punchbowl at
times - even if by accident - but no one REVELS in it like Jaros.

Well, okay... Andersock, but I don't read his posts. :P

I have to say, though, that i am a bit surprised.  With the way he ran
the 100m, i thot he'd have run faster than what he did, esp. since
(reportedly) he ran all the way in this event.

WHY would anyone be tooling around on the internet if they hoped to
not know the results until NBC aired it 12+ hours later?

Oh come on, Enslin.  There is a huge difference between avoiding posts
that might contain spoilers and some tool actually putting the spoiling
information in the subject header.  

The really bad thing with Jaros is that you just have to know that it
wasn't something accidental.
