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.

    • We never beat Canada in the WJC so yeah that would be a major upset... we were mega close in that goddamned quarterfinal when Bedard "Bellinghamed" us in the last overtime minute. I doubt we will be any closer of that in the next decade.   won in all its history only 3 matches in world juniors preliminary Round and never over a top tier nation so this win over Canada in CAN is certainly one of the biggest upsets of this sport comparable to - QF in Salt Lake or - Katowice madness or Squaw Valley MOI
    • But if we would have done it, no one would call it a surprise :(

    • The Italian team bought a wax- bus from Sweden before the season and acquired head of their serviceman, so maybe that's the reason? The investment hasn`t been successful so far, because there is still a void beyond Pellegrino and these young skiers aren`t mentally ready for a tough fight.   Once there was a skier from Poland - Justyna Kowalczyk, who fought with the whole coalition of Norwegians at that time: Bjoergen, Johaug etc. Thanks to her strong psyche she was able to win difficult finishes with Bjoergen. Diggins is doing the same now - she gives 120%. This is the only way you can win with Norwegians. Apart from Pellegrino I don't see anyone in our team who has the ambition and the will to fight.
    • Diggins and Pellegrino have never had great physical conditions but their mental have always been on point. The entire American team is brave and ambitious. On the other hand the Italian team is physically weak and has no ambition. There is no visible will to fight and progress is born in the head- that`s says once Filippo Ganna.
