Like last season, here's an official thread for my fellow T&F junkies. While it's a long season I highlighted all the Diamond League meets, the U.S. Nationals, and of course the Olympic Games, in the season schedule below.  All should be televised, so if anyone finds any local listings as to times post it in the thread and I'll update the schedule. Most of the meets should be televised on NBC, Versus, Universal Sports, and CBC for Canadians. If you have access to cbcsports.ca they always stream the Diamond League meets live.

Was a good call though. These guys running quick times considering its the beginning of the season. Hopefully they all stay healthy this year.
 
Anyone catch the Shanghai Diamond League meet today? no way was I waking up at 8am to watch that live. I have to save all that energy for the Olympics.

One of my favorite threads. Appreciate you uploading the clips, I can never find this %#%% on my TV.

10.02 for Powell to win? Seems "slow" by elite standards, was it just the comp, conditions?
 
Usain ran a 10.04 at a meet in Ostrava (Czech Republic) today, seemed really angry at the time. I'll update when footage is available.
