Now that I'm rewatching it, it seems more subtle and maybe not so bad? But at the time I was thinking he may need to get checked out medically.
Yeah, for Sifan, he had just started yelling “it’s to the line” when she fell, then after a quick breath “she falls”. He’s probably a bit slow, but live commenting on track is just hard. Not like a ball where the ball is in the air, so you know when something is going to happen, and you can be prepared to say “swish” or “catch” right away. He could probably improve by talking less during live action, but I’m sure he’s been instructed to avoid dead air.
