i'm not too clear about the regulations in the past, but as far as i know/understand, we weren't allowed anywhere near the track nor the jump pits to shoot... did you seek clearance to do so?

good effort with the captioning, and effort in coverage. i wouldn't know otherwise the event has shifted from being held around my area to elsewhere...

Shots were taken with a AF-D 80-200 on either Aperture or Manual mode. Javelin shots were with an additional 2x teleconverter.

Other than the long jump shots, the rest were taken from the grandstand area. The long jump pit was at the opposite end of the stadium, so had to walk there.
