This is a confusing post, it seems to suggest that only the shot put and the 10,000 meters will be on. If this is correct, then we will not able to watch L. Roesler run tonight. If anyone has better information please pass it on. (I swear, despite becoming a more educated nation, it sure seems Internet news writers are showing smaller and smaller amounts of common sense, an inability to write clearly - pardon my vent).
There is zero chance that all they're going to cover in 3 hours is the shot put and the 10,000 meters.
I forget where it was, but the thing I saw yesterday listed the broadcasts and the events they were committing to cover for sure (the 10,000 and shot put were on Friday's list) but also said other unspecified events would be covered as well.
I think there's a descent chance the 800 prelims will get some coverage on the live stream. They're during the broadcast window, there's only one track event going on at a time, and the field events feature a whole lot of standing around and waiting. I'm not sure which is less entertaining the middle laps of a half hour foot race or a parade of large men taking turns strolling in and out of a circle.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
