Speed skater finishes 0,01 second behind the fastest time: "Not quite good enough"

Speed skater finishes several seconds behind the fastest time: "Just shy of the gold medal position"

 

Ah, the generic English commentators with zero experience with the sports they're commentating on  

 

I can't count the amount of times I've heard "and he/she is now rrrrreally pushing hard!" in the final lap (as if they're not pushing hard earlier) or "It's starting to look like he/she is in a little bit of pain now!" in the last meters. Those commentators really win every single gold medal in the kicking-in-an-open-door-competition  

 

They're also unbelievably bad in reading lap times  1500m, rider goes from 27.0 to 28.3 or so the next lap, being 3 seconds under the currently fastest time, whose rider had a 30.x final lap. Meaning the rider would have to totally collapse from 28.3 to 33-34 seconds within a lap, which just isn't happening at all, but still, the commentator goes all "will he be able to set the fastest time!?" when he literally has 5 seconds left for the last 10 meters
