Kara Goucher failed to speak for 1 minute and 27 seconds after the race.

100%. Joe Buck is also good at this. It is TV, not radio people. There is no reason for her to even have to talk.

I agree. She does have her facts that she loves to share, it seems to prove she's knowledgeable. But sometimes silence is golden. Also, if she could not use that same excited cadence without any change in pitch for last 200 m off every race it would help.

Go watch the video of Joan Benoit finishing the 1984 Olympic marathon. The announcers went quiet and turned to the stadium mikes for 10 seconds or so to just let us soak it in. Could hav gone longer as far as I’m concerned

Meh it's hardly a screw up bigger screw up was they implied that galen rupp never existed by going on about how bad the Americans were bad at this event. We had 2 Olympics where we didn't medal 1 of those Rupp got 4th. Kara, he was groomed by your abuser before he was 18 can you not mention his name. Despite knowing him personally? This is where I would be so curious about her thoughts on Rupp.. I'd love to hear about that. Sure Rupp almost certainly cheated... but then didn't she? How can you be the link between the Houston doctor and the coach and not have also not cheated?

She had no issue saying the name of the person that was in that group that was racing.

She actually shut up for once?!? Hard to believe. She is usually speaking the inner thoughts and feelings of each runner. She must be a mind reader. ‘Every runner is now questioning their perpetration, there training and their ability’.
‘she felt a little imposter syndrome’ did Constien tell her that? if so was it not in confidence? if not just shut up. The male commentator is stating facts. She pretends she is in the minds of every runner. I find her very annoying.
‘they want a fast race, that’s what they want’. So that’s interesting because sometimes at the Olympic steeplechase finals ‘they want a slow race’? She just said, ‘she knows am she has to run the full 3000meters’. Really? did anyone not understand that? ‘she lost some momentum in the water jump’. Thanks for the hint Kara.

Rob Walker, a Brit, is calling the Track and Field for World Feed on Peacock, alongside John Anderson and a female color commentator (there have been different female and male color commentators for different events). Personally, Rob Walker is my favorite. He's called many World Track and Field events around the world as well as the snooker championships for many years running now. I'm not sure this is who you're talking about though.
