Here is an article by the commentator on the video that sounds like a "squealing pig"...Cathal Dennehy.

That's the dude who won the Media 800 last year in Beijing.
You probably measured from when she got the hand off, about 8-9 meters from the finish line, and where you officially take the split. Try 66.5 or 66.6 from finish to finish line. Not much of a coach, d.
Heard rumors the announcers have already been hired by FloTrack as announcers.

Would that this were true...spectacular announcing job
Outstanding commentary. They called her coming on with 250 left. You would have NEVER heard that from an American commentator. They would have focused solely on the Olympian and the leader. I actually thought the announcer was a woman his voice was so high.
This is among the top commentaries I have ever heard on any track event at any level. Ever. In the whole world.
That was the steeple girl w/250 to go when she started closing. They called Healy with 150 left. Still a great call.

Some of the youtube comments on the video refer to the commentator as a "she"!
Cathal Dennehy is now another famous Irishman!
Congratulations Cathal!
