Sorry to
write this, but this view is a bit one-sided. The IAAF is about much more than
just "protecting itself" and the USTAF has not been exactly the great guard of
democracy. Its stance apparently ahs to do more wit fear of litigations and the
involved expenses.

Not only did the NCAA division III have a faster time, but this is the very
first instance (perhaps the last in a century) when a world title in a men's
event was won in a mark inferior to the WR (outdoor, admittedly) for women!!

The idea that any amount US TV money will provoke the IOC to withdraw its
recognition of IAAF as the official governing body of athletics for Olympic
purposes (after 88 years! ) is toying with futility.

was because she wanted some extra races.
I just have not run that many races. I wanted to get

Dear netters,
I attended the NSIC in NYC yesterday, and the first thing that caught my
attention was how empty the place was at 10am. Last year, I couldn't find a
seat at 9am! Nonetheless, the competition was fierce! But as each race was
finished, I wondered:

Hi,
I've got some intermediary times for Lisbon's 1500m.
(times displayed live on French TV).
200m : 36'
400m : 1'10 (the women in the 3000m ran 1'09)

800m : 2'14

I saw the race. Webb went out from the gun, controlled
the entire race. Brannen went with him for the first 6
laps or so. Webb's mile split was 4:19.8 by my watch.
He was really pushing hard. The track has tight turns,
and the lanes are narrow (42" at best). It is not banked.

Another reason the numbers were low is because the New York State
Championships were held this past Saturday as well. NYS has booked the

I think we should remember that it would be absolutely unconstitunal
for the IAAF to form a new governing body here in the U.S. and any

I agree all he rules should apply. The issue is that the IAAF is willing to
sacrifice fairness for its dominance. I am not promoting the sainthood of
any of the federations, but it is clear to me that the IAAF has its
priorities mixed up.
