Last October, AW printed a headline letter from me after I was at the Intercontinental Cup in Marrakech. On day 2 I decided to stay in instead and watch on Morocco TV because they don't have self-important pundits, just 100% coverage of all the track & field with knowledgeable commentary. Brilliant. BBC should learn from how other countries' TV companies do it.

Cut out the verbal diarrhoea from BBC pundits who just want to be seen on TV and show more field events

I was at the Anniversary games on Saturday and even there while Olympian Greg Rutherford was jumping, they were showing the middle part of a middle distance race on the big screen rather than his "Final" jump !!!!

We need to see our talented field eventers as much as the track athletes!

why is it hard to show some exciting and explosive throws and jumps while a 5k is going on its boring until the last lap, fields events can spring a winner from anywhere. It's disappointing to behonest

Coach sprints but enjoy all explosive events... Bored with chat without action and long runs where only the last lap really has any action or excitement...

Less comments from the presenters who repeat the same things over and over while you can hear the crowd cheering and clapping for the field events. Come on they need to be shown along with the track events.

I absolutely agree 100% that field events should be given more air time on TV. As things stand it seems as though field events are merely used to fill in time between running and 'old has beens' talking about running. It's called track and field for a reason!
