Over the years, we have had many threads criticizing NBC for converting the actual results in meters to feet and inches in their coverage of field events from track and field. An example is this two year old thread:

I have been watching their coverage of the Track and Field World Championships from Budapest this weekend (it continues all week and next weekend). Most of their broadcast coverage is track events, but their cable networks and Peacock have coverage of all field event finals. I am happy to say that in the three field event finals I have watched this weekend, the announcers and all graphics are showing result in meters,, to two decimal places, the way the results are actually measured and recorded. Not a single foot or inch in three events.

No way of knowing yet whether this policy is only for the World Championships or all future track and field coverage, but I'm hoping for all future coverage. In the past, it has been so confusing to hear announcers babble in feet and inches while seeing metric markings on the field and metric scoreboards in the background onsite.
