Our topics;

1. The World Indoor Champs in Nanjing surprised us and enthralled us! Some veteran athletes did well, and many young athletes delivered.

2. The NBC clips on each major event in Nanjing were well done. Trey Hardee, Paul Swangard, and Ato Boldon did a great job keeping the excitement high.

3. The global coverage, which I watched, featured Rob Walker and Hannah England in most episodes. It was strong coverage and a great showcase of the field events.
