The Ben True WIFE interview was astonishingly BAD

Does anyone have a video link?

I swear, if I hear one more "they are not slowing down as much as the rest of the field antidote one more time".

Now SRR was made for this. She will get a lot better with time and is genuine which goes a long way. The hand-wrangling and eye interaction will be a thing of the past as well.

What exactly it is saying remains a mystery.

". . . the more overrated runner ever . . ." WTF?

She shore is cute, too. True reality show?

What vitriol. Why would anyone listen to you, there is no reason to your argument and you just come across as nasty. Really. What, did he leave your training group or reject your brand, so now, you feed on him?

Ben True only comes across as humble, as hard-working, as sincere and as intelligent. My heart went out to his wife, whose compassion and love was so obvious. He looked absolutely crushed. Why do you have to trash that?

What did everyone expect from NBC? They are the most unprofessional, amatuer-hour commentators when it comes to track and field coverage. It's a joke. NBC is an insult to our sport. I don't know how more people on these boards aren't up in arms over the crappy coverage. Also, most exciting 5,000m in years (in terms of lead changes, finish etc) but we saw at most 5 mins of the race.

Nothing said on these or other boards will change how NBC operate.

I was actually enjoying the absence of Tom Hammond last night. Having Tim Hutchins take the lead and Boldon back him up was tolerable. SRR is doing well for her first few days in the booth. The problem is that you can tell that she is being spoon fed talking point through the earpiece. They should just let her be herself and talk about the sport and she will be fine.

The interview with True's wife in the last third of the race was gut wrenching to watch. She should have told Lewis Johnson to f*ck off and let her watch the race.

In Peru, picking up the wrong salsa is ok. Also, if you forget milk you can just go outside and milk a feral cat.

We can only hope that they do a similar thing during the Olympic Women's triathlon so we can see True devastated again when his wife gets destroyed. She is having truly horrible results this year. Serves her right though for leaving her coach and training squad in an Olympic year? What idiots both Trues are.

You triathlon people need to go back and exclusively post on Slowtwitch. We won't support this kind of negativity here on LRC!!!

as an athlete, a lot less than Ben True. (although adidas provided me running shoes for 4 year after college)in other areas, a lot more than Ben True. running isn't the bar for successstupid question.

Ummmm, she made the team...

Olympic Women's Triathlon in Rio. In London she was 4th...this time around she'll probably be closer to 24th. Whereas last year the US looked dominant with Jorgensen, Zafares, and True with talk of them sweeping the medals in Rio, this year Zafares and True should really be paid off to work as domestiques for Jorgensen. That's about all either of those two is good for.

the only commentators that I like are Bolden and Richards-Ross who actually know what they are talking about.

He's a rotten person, accuses other people of being on drugs, and got a part of what's coming to him.

Time for Ben to hang it up and go full time sherpa for his wife, like Tommy Zafares basically has.
