The Ben True WIFE interview was astonishingly BAD

The head in the hands was after the race and interview. Try to keep up.

Totally agree. That was a misplaced interview which interfered with the coverage of the race, and was unfair to her.

We can only hope that they do a similar thing during the Olympic Women's triathlon so we can see True devastated again when his wife gets destroyed. She is having truly horrible results this year. Serves her right though for leaving her coach and training squad in an Olympic year? What idiots both Trues are.

True might be the more overrated runner ever on LRC and that's saying something. I was glad to see him lose today.

Well at least they have each other then.

If you think True is upset today over not making the team, just wait. A few years from now he will forget to buy milk or pick up the wrong salsa. Then she will flip out, start screaming about how he can't ever do anything right, mumble about how she should have married Bernard Lagat, and yell "only a goddamn fool would let the pace go that slow at the Olympic trials! You ran the first half mile like it was goddamn marathon! I want a divorce!"

You know, typical married stuff.

How pathetic.

The 9 commercials in the middle of the race, half of them dealing with olympic athletes talking about themselves, or visiting the NBCSN website to learn how you too can become an olympian, were astonishingly worse.

Why the hell would you wish something like this on anyone? You are what is wrong with our sport today. Have some faith in people and try to be supportive for once. Shame shame shame.

What a horrible thing to say. What have you ever done with your life? They are sticking their lives out on the line in the most public arena and instead of supporting some of the best clean athletes the US has seen in years this is what you have to offer? Really? Absolutely pathetic. All of you. Sorry you're not as entertained by clean, hardworking athletes as you are by the doped up swoosh machine. What a bunch of pathetic losers the LRC has become.

I like Ben True and was rooting for him to make the team. The interview with his wife at that point in the race was so stupid and insensitive. Many things about the coverage are just terrible, seriously the only commentators that I like are Bolden and Richards-Ross who actually know what they are talking about.

And then cutting to her breaking down after he got 5th was so bad. Just stop it NBC and please don't screw up today's coverage.

You obviously have no idea how the television media works.

At least the head in the hands was something real. How often do you see an athlete or athlete's loved one say or do anything off script? 99% of these interviews - including, or perhaps especially, the ones done by the brojos - are complete, cliche-ridden jokes.

The only thing I could think about during the interview is how Olymoic athletes will be drinking feces during their race. Or has Rio made a man made course for them to swim in?

This is where he does his damage...Your tired and gratuitous compliment of Ato and Sanya is as tired as their rehashed talking points. She's been on there two days and has repeated the same inane points and cliches over and over. The restricting format NBC has does not do them any favors but don't continue the unearned praising of Bolden. The guy on the stream and even Dan OBrien are better to listen to.
