she's a foreign interviewer....because the english language has such a vast wide of meanings for some words; some of her words or form of grammar may seem slow.lol but great job tho!

Great to see Alan back. Considering he is in a build phase of his training, he is in surpisingly good shape. I imagine the lack of interviewer prowess can be due to limited language knowledge. thank you to the uploader.

Interviewer has a definite lack of training/athletics knowledge.

Keep it up Webb, you've got a whole country pulling for you and you know what you're capable of. This experience will make you that much stronger for 2012!!

Go Southlakes !!

Foreign interviewer, not terrible. Also, she was being very objective, as 1:52 is slow. Alan knows it's slow, he admits throughout the video that he is unhappy with the time, but he understands his training and trusts his coach enough to know his current times are just a step down the path. A couple of honest questions from a reporter are not going to hurt him. News about his recent racing and training is very, very hard to come by, and rumors aren't, so I appreciate hearing directly from Alan.

terrible interviewer. "a little bit slow?" great objectiveness there. and if at least you are not going to be objective try giving positive remarks, not seemingly sarcastic ones that can hurt a morale of someone that is in need of positive feedback. you should be lucky he even gave you the interview.
