Sports: Purely A Personal Post -- So I Don't Forget To Watch -- August 19, 2025

International (collegiate?) track and field events.

Even posting it here I'm likely to forget; will have to place it on my calendar.

This was brought to my attention by a reader.

2025 World Athletics Championships, link here:

• to be held in Tokyo this year
• to be held, September 13 - 21, 2025 -- next month
  

Of particular interest to this particular reader: Tyus Wilson, link here.

High jumper:

• qualifying: evening, September 14, 2025
• finals: evening, September 16, 2025

Think Dick Fosbury. 1968. Mexico. 

For the event next month, I assume most Americans will see the video tape delayed. When it's 8:00 p.m. Tuesday night in Tokyo, it will be 6:00 a.m. Tuesday in Dallas. Assuming I have this correct.

By the way, Tyus is primarily a given name, with Latin and Greek origins, meaning "of the gods" or "to be strong." It's also found as a surname, potentially derived from the Latin name Titus. The name Tyus is considered distinctive and uncommon.
