The weather is great. Cool but I am sure it feels awesome to the athletes. I had to run around to get my internet working, so I am very comfortable in my t-shirt.

They turned the pit around, but then the wind shifted, so now it seems like they are running into a bit of a headwind. It's not blowing the wind sock very hard though.

Jeng up. He has decent height over the bar. Hits it pretty hard on the way down but it stays up!
