The preference given to track events on BBC , and the absence of field event coverage, makes a mockery of the expression "Track and Field".

Field events deserve tv time its not fair for these hard working athletes doing very hard technical events to be side lined by runners running in a straight line and occassional a curve...

It really is about time field events were televised more, rather than us just catching glimpses in the background of track events. They are just as important and the athlete's deserve some recognition please.

About time throwers and jumpers were able to really showcase their disciplines seeing as they train just as long and just as hard as track athletes.......

Normally they show a few jumps, but with the throws you sometimes only see the one winning throw. Hammer throwing in particular is thriving in the UK, let's encourage others to try. Monkey see, monkey do!

Just scrap the studio commentary, most of it is a load of drivel. Crammy and Phil trackside is all you need.

Let's have athletics on TV not a chat show about running, how are we going to encourage youngsters and coaches in the field events if they don't see them.

I feel very strongly about this, these field athletes deserve to be recognised for their tremendous dedication and achievements yet they are hardly ever seen on tv.
