Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 5307703, member: 35"] Love to see the comments of folks who love track and field! Slight [very slight] quibble: The men and women did not have a mile race....'twas a metric mile. The number of excellent performances in the field events was HIGH. BTW: in 1980...yikes...45 years ago...I got to go to the Olympic trials in Eugene...always watched all day and into the evening. That was the Olympics that Jimmy Carter refused to send out teams to the Olympics in Russia due to their invasion of Afghanistan. So...the Eugene trials were in effect OUR Olympics. It was a wonderful atmosphere every day....a super knowledgeable crowd. [/QUOTE]
