I had no idea this was Cranny's debut, that is incredible. Good for her!

She seemed to be a second fiddle until tonight, her debut in the 10000m, making the #3 on the all-time list.

Why is the announcer acting like this is debatable? Does anyone really think Cranny wins?
My bad. At least I k new it was the last lap and knew they'd easily break 29:50 with a lap to go.
30:50*
Did you resume drinking? I know I have.
I was scolding him for acting like sub-31 was up in the air at that point, I’m with you.
I hope Cheserek runs like a man looking for a country.

Hall hasn’t looked quite the same since Doha ‘19, but obviously the potential is there.
can grant do what cranny did? debut for the win and a third all-time US time?
Let's hope Chris doesn't pull a Gwen and get lapped.

Does Em In have a hitch in her stride?
Are you just now noticing this? It’s why she’s been injured almost as frequently as she’s been healthy since finishing at GTown

Doubt he’ll break 27:07 (I think that’s U.S. #3), but I think he’ll surprise a few people.

I was wondering if the hitch was because of injury.
Worst scoffing ever ;-)
Never trust a guy in a ponytail.

If so, she has to work a lot harder than the others.
Announcers aren't bad. Scott takes this is my guess.

Agreed. A couple of suggestions for them though:
1) Don’t laugh so frequently at each other's jokes
2) Don’t used dumbed down analogies (no one needs a reminder that a football field is 100 yards)
3) Do not make it obvious that you are personal friends with many of these athletes. Focus on the significance on what’s happening on the track
The guy announcing sounds like such a d bag
You,re move Centro.
Looks like 66s/lap is the assignment, and once again the pacers are setting the table well.
Reid Buchanan dropped out
I like the anouncer Jeff Merrill. He's a real fan of the sport.
Derrick dropped out. Unfortunate for him -- he wasn't a pacemaker
