Beautiful clip of Gebrselassie spoiled by Steve Ovett's boorish commentary. Customarily I prefer English coverage because the quality of analysis is of such high quality, but Steve Ovett is an exception to this. He insists on calling Geb "the little man." This is tiresome, not only because of the paternalism, but also because it is repeated so frequently.
I'd suggest that you are hyper-judgemental. Is Gebrseallsie not "the little-man?" The commentary is neither "boorish" nor is it "tiresome". Not sure where the notion of "paternalism" comes from?
