Truly embarrassing race in the 110hs, clearly they all have a problem with fatigue and disposal of preparation

What was embarrassing about the race? The times were definitely fine. Women's 200m and men's high jump, those were probably the lowest-level events of the day I'd say :p

Dunno about that. Our own :GBR athletics commentators who suddenly find themselves doing the Olympic bobsleigh have certainly matched that standard.

3:50.30 in the women’s 1500m for :ETH Tsegay!!! :hyper::bowdown:

 

3rd fastest time in history. 

Commentators seemed oblivious to what was happening until after she crossed the finishing line.

I know it’s technically not yet over but I’d add men’s triple jump to that list :p

17.51m for :POR Pichardo in Round 6, who takes the win in his return from injury! Doesn’t look impressed however. 

 

:BUR Zango second with a best mark of 17.12m.

Definitely not sarcastic, but honestly I also don't think it's a matter of being dumb :p

 

My guess is that the main athletics commentator, who is sick, was supposed to be replaced by someone who is kind of the default backup commentator...but he also wasn't available, so the guy doing it today is someone who as far as I know literally only does commentary for football usually.

 

With that in mind, he actually did a pretty good job overall, just that Perkovic/Elkasevic mistake was a bit unfortunate :d
