somebody needs to make a blooper video just from the announcers of this meet and put it up on youtube, and then send a copy to ESPN

She goes by "Mesi" Defar. That's not the first time I've heard that.
Allyson Felix is a lot better in her commercial than Jeremy Wariner is in his.

I would happily take Felix's "Chicken Legs" any day.
Winner? I say Gay in 9.82
Wow - only a 9:41 for Kara Goucher - over 30 seconds behind! I thought she was in better shape than that.
BUSH OF THORNS SNAP THATS HARDCORE
"If you false started they walked out with a bush of thorns and beat you."
Another excellent tidbit.
9.79 wow
I realize how great Defar is, but some of these Americans should be running in the 9:20s. I almost get the impression they were just on the track to fill out the field.
He only says that every single meet.
What the f*** kind of idiot lets up at the end of a 100 like that -- imagine if the wind had been good, why would you want to throw away a perfectly good record?
Can somebody please translate what Tyson Gay said?
Probably shouldn't be saying this about a world champion who could beat me in a 200 by about eight seconds, but Allyson Felix is adorable.
"Jeremy Wariner and the 400 Meters" = a new rock group

are all of the usa sprinters inarticulate?
black AND white included????
What I'd like to know is what are the results for the womens 200m and the mens 400m?
was it really 9.79?
My WHAT television?
I found it interesting that Gay had Tyson on his number and not Gay, little homophobic about his own name? Also they called out Sara Slattery as Sara Hall in the 2 mile, Hall was in the 1500.
how many times are they going to call Anthony Famiglietti, Andrew Famiglietti. He has run a lot of good races and good times, and has been well known since 2001 in US distance running and still they cannot get his first name right. It is bad enough that they still cannot pronounce his last name, but that adds insult that they continue to call him Andrew. Besides this was an adidas sponsored meet, seems like they would make sure that his name was correct since he is an Adidas athlete. The easy part should have been putting the name correctly on the results screen and that is where they screwed up (once again).
then to call kara goucher 'sara hall' during the race. And at the end call kara goucher 'sara goucher'.
