I'm reminded that yesterday, there were about 10 false starts in the hurdles heats, and like half of them were in the 400. And on all but one (a runner got DQd, though he got back in for the semi), there was basically no movement. So it seems like some of the sensors on the blocks were malfunctioning.

this is getting ridiculous... lol It was a million times worse yesterday. I think there were four false starts in one of the 400m hurdle heats. And none were actual false starts.

Rai Benjamin wins the 400 hurdles in 46.83, which is just five hundredths of a second slower than the world record.

Jamaica gets 3 spots too right?
Fraser-Pryce, Shericka Jackson, and Elaine Thompson were top 3 in the 100m.
They were top 3 in the 200m qualification too

Why is NBC interviewing Felix again? The question of the trials. I think they've interviewed her after literally every race.

Yeah, they're not the greatest. At first I thought they were supposed to evoke the image of football laces. But that doesn't really make sense.

Why is NBC interviewing Felix again? Oh, in one of the first couple of days, they also had a bit where Felix was giving speech to her daughter or reciting a poem or something. NBC is obsessed with her. Since she made the team in the 400, I imagine we'll have a lot more of this in store once the Olympics actually start.
