World Athletic Championships - Watch these amazing athletes

I love track and field. Glad to see that it is being held in USA. Wish I could be there live. I am in awe of how these athletes push their bodies and minds to the limit. Their inspiring life stories, so uplifting.
Great distraction from the news.
Airing on NBC channels.

I was able to go to the US T&F Olympic Trials when they were held in Indianapolis, before the Games in Atlanta. I have a photo somewhere of a big grin and wave from Jackie Joyner Kersey when the friend I was with yelled--Go Jackie! We weren't very I actually enjoyed these more than the Games.

It's a beautiful sport with a variety of events...something for everyone.

BTW, the American men swept the 100 meter dash yesterday, beating the Jamaicans.

since, Bolt retired. The women are amazing though. I think one of them will break Flo Jo’s record.
