I’m a track nerd so Friday night I flipped on the TV about 1030 and voila, the US Olympic Trials 10k was ready to start so I watched the whole thing; they even kept it up on split screen during commercials.
I was annoyed by 2 things:
1. A Brit was lead announcer. Why for the US trials can’t they get a US person as lead announcer.
2. My real pet peeve is, why can’t they provide splits each 400 meters and at the 5k? It’s so easy to do.
That’s my rant. |

Good rant!
I agree on the splits----
But I like Leigh Diffey..he knows track and does a good job.
It is ironic though, that NBC uses Ato Boldon (Trinidad and Tobago), Sandra Richards-Ross (USA by way of the islands) for commentary. I love them all but it is somewhat peculiar.
In fairness, all three cover track meets (Diamond League) all year long.
I guess the days of Dick "Look at Mills, Look at Mills" Bank are over---at least for now.
