From the thread about the less than satisfactory coverage of the London marathon.
I'd like to know if this is how the runners' names are properly pronounced:
Zersenay Tadese
zair-sen-IGH tad-USS-uh
air as in hair
igh as in high
u as in fuss
uh as "a" in ago
Tsegaye Kebede
tsuh - GIGH - yuh keb-ED -uh
ts as in bits
igh as in high
uh as "a" in ago
?
