Agreed, it's not unreasonable to pick Allman if you're looking for people to focus on for vignettes and special attention.
I was taking more of a jab at NBC's coverage in general, in which narratives often take precedence over the competitions.
The good news is that you can side step this by watching the field event stream (I wish I had this option for track events).

Let’s hope Sydney doesn’t get any bad mojo from team member Mu.
Nah, if she falls she will just pick herself up and jog to victory anyway.😁
I think Syd could've fallen over two hurdles and still won that heat. What a butt-whooping.
Women's hurdles are too low.
Only Bol run faster than her heat time this year.
It was interesting seeing the speed breakdown on the replay there. Imagine having so much more speed that you're consistently 1-1.5 mph faster than the next closest competitor toward the end of a 400m race...until you shut it down voluntarily because it's only a heat.
Mr Levrone is so hot
Showing 400m pace would be more interesting than MPH
Kishane Thompson just went 9.82 (+1.0) in the heats at Jamaican trials.

I don't understand why they would even think of MPH stat as a priority. Is it for treadmill users?

Yeah, and she actually said that she feels good.

Cockrell's physique is straight out of central casting for "elite track and field athlete"
SML is just on a completely different level. Shes in a different sport than the rest of them. Damn
Anna Cockrell is great, I hope she makes the team and medals
She seems delightful.

Like Lieke Klaver but taller
I'll admit that I showed up tonight to see if a second Kersee athlete would fall and blow their chance. Imagine the headlines! This place would've melted....
Cockrell is incredibly beautiful
Nice to see Dalilah healthy again. (hopefully healthy)
