Track & Field 2009 Wish List

It is about that time again, as we run into a new year.  Will anything be different this year? We hope so, and took the opportunity to put together a list of wishes for 2009.

A rivalry
I am not calling for the overthrow of the Usain Bolt, that is why we run the sport. But nothing makes track and field more interesting than a couple good rivalries. Squaring off against the top talent, including a fully healthy Tyson Gay is not only good for the fans, it is good for the sport in general.

Indoor track remains alive & well
Competition is a great thing to have in track and field.  It brings out the best in athletes and in the sport.  While many of the sport’s top names chose not to run indoors, it is a source of entertainment for the fans and a paycheck for the athletes that chose to run indoors.

Wanted
Is getting on the medal stand in Berlin asking for too much? A break through American middle distance or distance runner is needed.  Elite U.S. middle and long distance runners are few and far between.  Excellence in this area will draw in the mainstream fan that has not tuning in to track and field.

More Live TV
So now I can view track meets from around the world on my computer.   LIVE streaming has revolutionized the way track reaches fans, and it would be wonderful if it got even better in 2009.  However watching more live track meets on HD are what everyone wants to see.
