    I hope none of the jockeys fell off during the race.

    Yeah, my first thought was that it was the horses. But real people trying to get over the obstacles.

    Men's 400 meter. 5 runners sub 44 seconds.

    Incredible surge by Quincy Hall for the win.

    Well worth the minute of your time (even if F1 is your gig.)

    A lot of great track finals in Paris. In the 1500m, Cole Hocker surprised everyone, including the overconfident Ingebrigtsen who thought he could control the race by being both the rabbit and the winner. Hocker stayed back, waited for an opening in the final sprint, and pounced. Hocker's victory is one for the ages, right up there with Billy Mills and Dave Wottle:

    Saved ground and had live cover throughout.

    That's the right way to run a race.
