She said on her podcast today that they don't want the "color" commentators talking on the last lap or for a minute (I think that's what she said) after the finish. I suspect that's just to make sure the play-by-play person and commentator are not tripping each other up at the end.
Umm, yes, I posted that earlier. But this is true. As you know (but all the women-hating morons on here don't), she has mentioned many times in a self-deprecating way that on her first broadcast several years ago she spoke during the final 200m of race and was only told afterwards that she wasn't supposed to. That's the play-by-play person's call.
In other words, any complaints about post-race silence (which are absurd) should be directed at DIffey. But, this being LRC, OF COURSE the right-wing misogynists are going to go after Kara and not the male play-by-play guy.
