Video Found

I found a short replay of the video I was looking for over the weekend. It's Bernard Lagat running the 3k at the World Indoor Championships in Doha, Qatar. He makes a great move the final 200m. The best element has to be the announcing of the commentators who make the US tandem sound like a joke.

Here is the US announcing style (it takes a couple seconds to load).

Versus, the British announcing style.


Track and Field Videos on Flotrack


No wonder track in the US is only watched during the Olympics. I can hardly sit through a viewing of the first video because there is no added excitement or context as to what the race means.
