FloEuro Trip, Ryan's off to Oslo : Speakers & Interviews

Sickest last lap of a 13:05 5k I've ever seen!

They may have a mic, but that interview is a classic example of what I'm talking about. You couldn't hear anything they were saying. Maybe that mic was hooked up to something else or was just a prop. That video and interview are basically useless because you hear nothing but background noise.

http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view_video/235294-interviews-highlights-from-eugene/189915-mens-100-meter-crew - Look, they do have an external mic!

Ryan - check out the ski jump tower and museum. The view back down into town is worth the trip up there. Also, although not much of an opera fan myself, the opera house is definitely worth the visit. You can walk up a ramp on the side of the building, and see the whole downtown from the top of it.

its about 11pm here in oslo and i just got back from walking around. the sun is just going down, still light in the sky. crazy!!

darn it Ryan....Earn your Money!

and where is MARK?
thanks for keeping us posted! Love this stuff!

Has there ever been a straight answer to the question of where the funding comes for these excursions?

Norway is a fantastic place!!! just wander around and check out the beautiful sites and history. The people there are wonderful too! oh and it daytime like 20 hours a day

will there be a leuven mile or 800 this year?

Flotrack is the best

I think a mic wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I think didnt make that comment...

I'm not crying or whining. I think my point is legit. There are a lot of interviews done outside where all you hear is wind hitting the internal camera mic. It's a simple fix that doesn't cost a lot of money. When the Flo Boys are interviewing people in the press area after a meet, why do you think EVERYBODY else has an external mic held to the person's mouth? These people are probably getting clear, easy to hear audio while Flotrack gets tons of wind, background noise, and chewing, sniffles, giggles, throat sounds from the camera operator.
I didn't say I didn't enjoy stuff they put on here but my suggestion is simple and easy to do. If they want to improve quality, they would take my advice.

Hands Down you all are the best running website...period. Keep up the good work and don't ever let up.

and by the way, i am referring to you "i think". if they're taking off to europe to watch track meets, i think they can afford better equipment.

why are 90 percent of the people on this website complete douchebags? I thought running made you happy, not angry, petty, and a complete b*itch.

someone needs a tissue

If you guys can fly all over and go to these meets, I know you can afford an external mic for your cameras. Most of your outdoor interviews are impossible to hear with the camera's internal mic. Please make a trip to your local Radio Shack or Best Buy and get an external mic. It's a simple thing but will improve your stuff quite a bit. It would be nice to hear the person being interviewed instead of you chewing your gum or Mark's awkward giggles.

I love Norway, Didn't spend much time in Oslo... 10 mins outside the train station... but I hope you like it!

Check out Vigelandsparken. It's a big sculpture park in Oslo.

here's the view from the hotel and my room

Augustine Choge!! yuh!
