I was going to cancel Peacock after the Olympics because the trials coverage was terrible. This 10000m was perfect. (I had announcers with British accent, not the feed with annoying Diffey and Kara). Right from the beginning when they were lining up the commentator said something like "This is the 10000m, it's like physical chess" and I was like "WHAT IS THIS? I LOVE IT!" and it just got better from there...sound of the crowd and stadium music in the background under the commentators. I listened on a big pair of Beats headphones and I felt like I was in the stadium. I legit thought maybe I fell asleep and was dreaming. The capper was the camera coverage at the end (it was perfect all the way), when the medalists were congratulating each other (Grant/Cheptegei) and yet somehow they managed to keep the finish line in the background so I could see whether Nico PRed. Everything we've ever begged for on this site and it all came together. I'm convinced that AI has gone super intelligent and it decided to serve us up what we wanted. Maybe world peace is next?
The only flaw was not putting up lap and/or kilometer splits during the race, but the race was so gripping that I didn't even need to see that.
After seeing this race, rather than cancelling Peacock I want to send them a donation. Please keep covering track like this.
