I didn't think the announcing at this meet could get worse. Then they added Sanya Richards.
Nobody will ever be as awful as Carol Lewis (at anything, ever). But Sanya is just plain BORING.

And she's Jamaican, to go along with the Trinidadian and the Brit. Where are the US announcers?
I like her commentating, she provides some good insight.
Actually shes very good. This is the best team that theyve ever had in fact. Idk if Tom is sick,away or retired. Hes not horrendous but Tim is obv much better
She's good. She gives insight that others seem to miss and best of all she speaks instead of screaming. She gets an A from me just for that mannerism.
Yeah, where is D W I G H T?
I like her, she's pretty insightful and she is easy to look at. Great combo.

She's essentially having a paid internship. Yes she sounds a bit robotic but this is the first time she has done this job. She beats Boldon's gushing like a school girl for every "amazing" feat.

Foreigners are doing jobs Americans won't do.
not all that bad (MUCH better than Mashack) but her delivery is a little deliberate
Give her some time
Trey Hardee is doing some field event commentary. He seems a bit more fluid than Richards-Ross.

How about a new trio such as..
Simon Cowell, Michael Buffer and Mr. T

Sanya is doing a great job. I heard her on the webcast initially and didn't realize that it was HER. She and Ato make a good team.
And with all of the gushing over other female track stars, people need to realize that NONE of them exceed Sanya. She has such a wonderful attitude and spirit and we should all be supportive of her. I hope that she can ride this out through the Olympic Games and more.

Ha I was wondering who that was. He does sound more polished. She should improve or it's on to other things and dusting off the resume.
A great color commentator if he ever retires would be Lagat. He is totally at ease during interviews, never talks about deities, and offers great insights about training and race tactics.
He would be the John Madden of commentary for all events 800 and above.

This + beer sales at meets = absolute game changer for t&f
