i hate to say it but the commentators suck... he said kenyans go out hard. not true. they usually pack up, which is smart because you want to control the pace.
Unless its basketball, football or soccer(spanish commentators), most commentators don't know jack about the sport. Just what they read on the paper. All they do is speculate and make things bigger then they actually are.
I agree, the old yellow uniforms are much cooler. But I'm pretty sure they went with the black uniforms as a tactical move. They didn't want to stand out with their flashy yellow ones and give the other teams a target, so they made themselves a little less recognizable to other teams with the black tops.
I tought the coverage of the men's race was terrible.. ESPN should do a little more XC homework. I mean really... who knows about how a 5th man impacts a team race? Common! Also, are you kidding me about the 4min commercials during a 30min race?... Thats like missing almost a whole quarter of playtime during a national football game! Just say'n.

worst announcers possible--no wonder T&F, and cross country get no attention nationally.
Please please please go out and hire some British sports announcers--they speak well and are HIGHLY knowlegable about the sport.

They try to make it interesting for the people watching who aren't interested in the first place. I agree, they aren't educated on the sport usually.
