Gotta say something before the usa trials begin friday.  Nothing worse then watching athletics on nbc with our stupid measuring system!   How can i tell how good a javelin throw is when they tell me 120 feet!    Any field event have exactly same problem.  Also during the olympics.  Its annoying as hell.   You have a stupid measuring system as it is  at least during big events use the same system that the world records are in!!

I totally agree with you when I'm going through results of US meets. The entire world uses centimeters and meters, but somehow the Americans must use inches and feet and whatever. It's like they don't want to accept that they're actually not really different than the rest of the world...at least in athletics.

thank you!  it's very frustrating, i remember watching christian taylor almost break the world record last summer, but right after the jump i had no idea how much he actually jumped since they used inches!!   also when they show olympic athletics they even go as far as change all the screens to show the scores in feet.

 

It was very very annoying when i went to the eugene diamond league, when you have no idea what someone actually did and only once in a while they mention the metric results

The 8.20 was a mistake. It was actually 7.20. The ppl at the event had an error in input.
