After finishing on the track, there's still quite a workout left before the athletes can leave.
Like four flights of stairs. They have to navigate those ? and do interviews ? to get to the exit.
For some, it can feel like more of a card workout than their actual race.
"We need an elevator," deed Trotter said after finishing her heat in the 400 on Friday. "This is tougher than the race."
Heptathlete Hyleas Fountain felt the same way, especially after competing in four events.
"It is a pain," she said. "Especially when you have your bag full of cleats."
