Tomorrow is the first night of competition for the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Doha, Qatar.
Canada’s wagon, as usual these days, is hitched to Priscilla Lopes-Schliep in the women’s 60m hurdles. She’s coming off a disappointing fifth place finish at a meet in France earlier this month, but her 7.82s Season Best is the fastest 2010 time of anyone in the field and she’s already won the Millrose Games (Manhattan) and the Sparkassen Cup (Stuttgart) this year. Her first heat goes off at 2:45pm Doha time (6:45am Eastern Time). Perdita Felicien’s heat goes 5 minutes earlier. The semis and finals are Saturday morning and afternoon.
Manitoba’s 23 year old Nicole Edwards will also be there in the women’s 1500m.
You can listen to live internet radio broadcasts here, or watch live streaming video at dailymotion.com and cbcsports.ca. CBC TV will also have tape-delayed coverage of Saturday’s events from 5:00-6:00pm on Saturday.
