lvrunner ching.  It is good to finally find someone here who is interested in the World T&F.  I think one of the possible reasons for the lack of interests here is that few, if any, Chinese are ex ...

actually, there's no advertisement at all in hk, especially this event is not popular.
even there's tv publication, normally will be on paid TV channel.
don't expect too many people can view this event

I am surprised to hear that the event is not even on TV in HK.  It is on major networks here in US.  2 years ago, I happened to be in Japan during part of the Osaka World T&F.  I turned on the Jap ...

no need to surprise...
even "FINA World Championships" , which was much popular due to swimming event, was only available on paid TV not free TV channel

also hk people pay more attention on short event, 100m, 200m.....but not long event
so people know more about Liuxiang...

if we want to see any marathon program, need to check it out on internet or delayed ESPN on cable TV
so i love the way how US/Japan broadcast major marathon event, e.g. Boston M, Berlin M

True.  I can watch most of the events either on cable TV or on the affiliated web sites here in US.

Liu Xiang is one in a billion.  Too bad he is not able to compete.  Unfortunately, after Liu Xiang, the other so called successors of Liu in the 110 hurdles probably wouldn't be in the top 4 if they compete in the university track competition in US, let alone the pro comps.  If Shi Dong Peng can get back to his form, he might have a chance to make the final.  The other two will be lucky to make it to the 2nd round.

to be fair....still a long way to run for peng....don't expect much from him...

it is sad that no one can compete with Dayron Robles in 110m hurdles..at this moment
there's even no one can push him for the best....sad
