Appears to be paying for it now -- top Japanese, French, Irish, and Swedish athletes clumped with him now in a pack behind the leading bunch. Spencer 16 seconds back at 4k in 21st
Full credit to this commentator. Sign her up for the Olympics. She is fantastic. Picked up that an American runner may have lost his chip. She’s commentating and paying attention to all the details.
the other top non-africans have great creds too: Abhram is a 3:38 / 13:38road guy, Niizuma is a 3:40/13:35, Lorstad 7:52 -- Harris with an 8:08 3k is the "slowest". Puts into perspective how incredible these Kenyans are
Hannah England commentates for all the diamond League events - I'm pretty sure she's done world championships as well. She's definitely fantastic. Treats every event she commentates with the same eagerness of an Olympic final - really great, positive Vibe and enthusiasm
