That might have been the worse call of the final 200 of a 1500 I've ever heard. I like Chris Dennis but he just called it like was a ho-hum 1500 when she almost scared the World Record? Horrible right?
There you go - it's not an official meet unless I complain about the announcing. But I just dfeel so often these announers to into race with a script and don't pay attention to what we are witnessing or know enough about the historical times to adjust on the fly They go into races with a pre-thought out plan and don't change.
Like they should have been talking about how she's way ahead of the lights, what are we witnessing here? I need some Tim Huthchings excitement.
OK. CORRECTION. I had stopped my broadcast the moment she hit the line. He then did realize the significance of the time and got excited about the #3 time in history The real criticism here goes to Hannah England. She's the color commentator for this event and didn't provide any mid-race excitement. They hit 3:20 with 200 to go. Someone needs to realize that. Now, it's possible they are getting ready for the next event and don't have enough help in the booth. But I saw the time at the bell, I saw the time with 200 to go, etc.
