The 2007 World Track & Field Championships kick off in Osaka, Japan on August 25th with the men's marathon. Though the race begins at 7:00 a.m. local time, because Osaka is 13 hours ahead of the U.S.'s eastern time zone, the race will actually air (live) on WCSN.com on Friday, August 24th at 6:00 p.m. ET.
There are two ways you can watch this year's World Championships--live on WCSN.com, or on TV.
For those who are mathematically challenged (and for our own benefit), we've translated the competition schedule for the events 800 meters and longer for viewers in the U.S.'s eastern time zone, so you know when to log on to WCSN.com to watch the races live. (Let us know if you see any errors in our math!)
