We already know not enough casuals are interested in track. You need millions of casuals consistently consuming the product to have a real paying Leauge. Look at the WNBA, still losing money after its most successful season ever. The perfect product would be an Athlos style Leauge on Network tv in the summer like ESPN or FS1. They struggle for content over the summer months anyway. I’m sure a deal could be made if framed correctly.

Any times for this guy?

The Ginger Ninja.

Charlie Dobson is still only 24 so he has definitely not been one of the best known sprinters for a decade. However, I agree that he has huge potential over 400m...training for it will also improve his 200m capabilities. Is he a potential Olympic champ? Maybe.

Not quite the right heading. He hasn't run a 100 since 2022 - his best was 10.28 [and 10.12w in 2020] - but he did run 20.19 in 2022 and 2023 - so, very much a 200m guy who's moved up. A slightly quicker first half and his strength will take him under 44 next year.

It was on cable tv, just not live.

You do know tyreek hill was a Division 1 track star. In high school he was literally tied for fastest 100m in the US his senior year. 2nd fastest in the 200m.

Not hating but this meet probably should be opened to everyone so it can grow and it's a good idea but we all know that a lot of fans mostly want the big 3, Sydney, Shacarri and the males You can't argue with the facts if they do it like this and make those editions it'll probably be as big almost as the Olympics and they'll get a lot more sponsors

I think he is helped by the fact that the UK has always had a strong 4x400 team and so the 400m event is a draw for 200m runners that see a better chance to win an international medal.

And it’s very important to note reaction times. In football it’s on the athletes movement when they’re ready in track u just gotta be ready 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

go ginger!!

Personally I think it's great for sport. T&F is sports but also entertainment. Obviously keep focus on athletes but what's not to love.

For sure

This was the best video of yours I've seen. There's no hype in this one.

Thanks for this. You make this video interesting. So many sports videos are narrated by some generic bot; not only do you make it interesting by your voice and manner but you've got something to say, you've thought it out. There's all the world of difference.

I agree, the athletes shouldn't have to be the ones to organize by themselves mostly. But they should retain control of it as a whole. They can enlist help for organizational purposes and balance. But should keep a majority share of control and profits at all times. With this one event they've already addressed some of the major issues. Trial and error will fine tune this process with the right minds and hearts involved.

Track & Field is a very boring event minus the 9+ sec sprints to a 4+ min mile race. If T&F put all the finals on the same day with some entertainment in between, this will make it more palatable and TV friendly.

This might help, you can place bets on each race.

It's on ESPN 2 Sunday

I'm so proud of Brittany Brown! She's such an inspirational and beautiful woman. She is so deserving of the Titles she's won this season and I'm so happy to see her get to stand on the podium again!

It was the inaugural year; so no doubt, upcoming events will be fine tuned. I'm just glad that it is for WOMEN, and everyone took home some prize money.

It needed sha'carrie and syd

Its encouraging that he always seems to be carrying his speed through the line as others fade. Such potential and relaxed smooth efficient form

*It was like an Allstar Bball game! Alex gave more females a platform and a chance to get some money, which sounds like a win for these ladies!* i enjoyed it! And they had actual Olympian stars from Paris in it!

This is going to be a hard sell for American sports consuming audiences. Major League baseball, the NBA, the WNBA, and NHL events average last 2 hours or more. Track and field is a series of events that last only a few seconds to several minutes. In the case of marathons a couple of hours.

Don't even try to drag Caitlin Clark's salary into this. Everybody knows the WNBA rookies earn maybe at the most $80,000 per season (not too bad for 4 months work.) But Clark came into the WNBA already a multi-millionaire through college NIL deals, then became a pro and signed a $28 million contract with Nike 😆

This isn't new, this TYPE of event has been done before.

all sports are dying,except probably soccer.internet has provided great distraction and alternative to leisure time.i used to watch basketball boxing,and football,me and my friends dont anymore

the stands were about 60% filled. based on what I saw for the video production, that was a Tier 2 unit...and not bad at all. In the US market that would cost about USD$1m-$1.5m to put together. The stage and lighting and live-event roll out looked about the same for a small stage show...so about $300k in that side. The commentary team, the concert event and all the frills, the prize money...if they paid for those crowns...they jumped in with about $3m-$5m for what we saw there. Ten of those is about the DL budget. Did we get that quality? IMHO...nah. Was it worth it? Nah. The races looked good doh. LONG lulls between races...did not appreciate that part at all.

Just a thought here. Children's movies always do well in the movie theater. Penn Relays always have one of the largest turnout. I believe that if they start including the best youngsters in the country or from around the world at these meets, the attendance will become larger. Maybe 3 or 4 races. Especially if the two sprint rivals in the world are included. What do you think guys? I love track and field and I really want to see it do better.

Ohanian and crew created the T&F Ladies All Star game and I’m here for it. He is married to one of the greatest athletes of all time who I am pretty sure influenced him greatly to highlight the accomplishments of these fantastic women 🎉🎉❤ this is the best sports entertainment event ever for female track stars 🎉

Why over analyze everything. It was a fun positive event. Just enjoy and relax.

Agree w/ you Coach Rob, your on point…..the fan fare turned this event into a slutfest, the athletes abilities is enough to garner views and support; eventually, like boxing we’ll be viewing entertainers-actors & not serious, focused athletes.🤨😖😡

Totally loved the event - i loced that they celebrated the women in track and field. I think it should be a 2-day event going forward - one day for the male runners and the culminating finale with the women. Skip Meg the Stallion, but keep the dj! And maybe since it’s a showcase, limit each athlete to 1 event. If it is a once a year event at the end of the pro season it will be easy to grow and sustain it!

About time Women got paid what they are worth!!!!I told my wife that Brittany was going to win!
