His ego is enormous. Amazing run. Seems like he is trying to be every athlete he has ever seen on sportscenter.

The announcer was terrible - sounded like we were at a WWF smackdown. The Brits have the best announcers in the world.

And I also want to add that the feed was choppy, the announcer was annoying as all f***, and Wejo, did you really have to embed the video player on every single LetsRun page, and have the default volume at full blast?

A minor correction of the announcer.
Nelson's record was set in 1979 not 1975.

"Id like to thank all of my fans out there" - What fans? Webb doesn't even have fans, never mind some high school ego punk. Good run though.

I turned the volume off, it is a pity the announcer had to spend the entire race trying to motivate the crowd to cheer. I turned the volume back on to hear the announcer trying to rally some sort of "GERMAN GERMAN" Pre Pre cheer. I nearly barfed then turned the sound back off.

The feed looked like a flip book of German's stride. And, he's a cocky asshole. Other than that, GREAT RUN!

And yes, beggars can be choosers.

German's performance was amazing, however. Front running the entire way and looking strong doing so. He should have been the one running the Pre 2 mile with faster comp!

I thought it was over the edge. There were a lot of others in the race in their biggest moments as runners, but the announcer kept yelling/screaming for only German support. If someone's going to argue that it was fine for the announcer to be like that... then tell me when it IS over the edge??

Great run. Sorry if the sound was on automatically. I didn't want that to be the case. I had the feed on the top of the message board index page and the homepage.

I thought i clicked the option to turn off the sound but I guess I did it wrong.

Wejo,
Thanks for putin the feed up man. Dont let these idiots talk trash because you put it up. They have a mute button, if they are too lazy to do it then they should get their @$$es out and provide the feed for the rest of us.

You guys that are bashing the quality of the coverage obviously haven't a clue as to just how damn fortunate we were to watch that race live and in color here on letsrun.com...for that experience, I am MOST appreciative.

You guys are a group of depressing senseless idiots. First he just broke the 29 year old f****** record of jeff nelson not to mention obviously taking out the 3k record enroute. The announcer was doing everything he could to motivate the crowd so the crowd would in turn motivate German by cheering for him. And lastly, how is he a cocky a-hole? Did he not just thank his fans for coming all the way out to cheer for him or did he not?
