I'm gonna disagree. For the announcer who is not a former athlete I think he is about as good as we could hope for. For sure I prefer him to Tom Hammond.
He doesn't call any of the action though. He just tells stories. And he does it with an Australian accent! This is the US team!
Right here. Right now.
Me tooo!! What a waste of time & $$ Peacock is worthless. Going to cancel. What a joke

Love him. But I am Australian originally.
He is streets ahead of American commentators. He pays attention to the events, knows the people and can keep it going.
There are a lot of boring US commentators who have no idea what's going on, and clearly haven't made any attempt to learn.

Ehhh, he was going for a spot on the team in another event that had a relay he would almost assuredly medal in. He's still the heavy favorite for gold in the 200 meters.

His first 50 is awful. His block technique is sub standard.

What is wrong with you people? Some of the athletes believe in God and thank him. You don't. Fine. It's America - free speech is still a thing.
When called upon to converse, an adult should be able to discourse at least with some sensitivity and understanding of the situation, if not intelligently.
Even Johnson realized quickly that he was a dead end.
Sprints have to have some of the, uh, most exceptional people anywhere. Small wonder they fall into doping.
All the athletes invoking god are high on my. list of dopers. Doing great showing incredible ability? Base it on god instead of peds. Makes people believe
