UniversalSports.com to Broadcast World Athletics Final LiveSeptember 9, 2009

UniversalSports.com displays an encouraging notice about its coverage of the World Athletics Final on Sept. 12-13 at Thessaloniki, GRE.
The announced start time of 1115 EDT [0815 PDT] on both days should assure viewing the first track event each day -- women's steeplechase on Saturday at 1815 and W400m hurdles on Sunday at 1825.
[The meet venue is seven hours ahead of USA Eastern time.]
The lone USA entry in WAF women's steeplechase is Lisa Galaviz who ran a 9:02.70 for 3000m flat race last week at Rovereto, ITA. She is also the only USA woman steepler to have scored steeple points this year in at least three meets on the IAAF World Athletics Tour.
Steepler Anna Willard of USA has qualified for both 1500m run on Saturday) and 800m run on Sunday. She is unbeaten at 800m this year and is now the all-time third-fastest USA 1500m runner behind Mary Slaney and Suzy Favor Hamilton.
Doubling in W800 and W1500m has been done only once in WAF history -- but it can be tempting for a qualifier because every WAF finisher in those events will get a cash prize. (Winners get $30,000) |
