The sport of track and field is like an iceberg. Competition is the part of the iceberg that everyone sees, while training is the much larger part below the surface. --- Sports Illustrated

No matter how many times I watch track & field now, I can't get used to field event MEASUREMENTS IN METERS!! It is so much more meaningful in FEET/INCHES. A high jump of 7'10" sounds much more impressive.
What do you think? Does anyone in the US actually prefer metrics or at least getting used to it?

WHEN I COACH MY ATHLETES IN THE SPRING FOR THE PENTATHLON , I ALWAYS HAVE WISHED THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE IN FEET AND INCHES . THE CONVERSION BOOK TO DETERMINE PERFORMANCE POINT VALUES SHOULD REFLECT THE TRADITIONAL MEASUREMENTS WE GREW UP WITH. COACH MARTY LASKIN- PLAINEDGE AND TOWNSEND HARRIS H.S.

I became used to it when I coached at St. John's in the late 1970's. The EVERREADY BUNNY Mr. Conroy is correct.

Why not use both? He jumped 2.3876 meters (7' 10"). I too can't get use to it. I'm always converting throws to feet/inches.

Europeans & most international countries uses the metric system. This is what they are use to. No fractions! When I play golf with my Irish/English cousins they add 10 yds give or take to sprinkler head yardage. Get the Track Buddy app which has a metric converter.
