Yeah the balance is off. The commentary is only on the left speaker. I threw the balance over to that side and can hear it that way.
They were just playing The Jackson Five on that broadcast. Gotta luv ya some Euros.
I love the brit announcers. It's funny, if you watch the replay on demand tomorrow on universalsports, it will be the american announcers. The Monaco meet was the bris live, and all the replays are the americans. Including unfortunately Carol Lewis.
on another note, anyone notice that lane 8 (9?) is RIGHT against the stands? That's close.
Sound is all messed up!!!
Good tip, Brad. Thanx
anyone notice manzano wearing two different shoes?
there's Leo...GO LEO
Kaki loses, but Lagat is worse.
Wow, americans looked like crap in that 1k.
what was Rono trying to do? Go inside?! He should be DQ'd for that push.
But kaki really lost form coming home to cross the line third.
Man that 1k race was ugly!
I don't think I've ever seen Mansoor Ali win a race, he is a chronic 3rd-5th place finisher.
And man, what was up with Kaki's finishing lean?!

David Krumm was DQ'd?! WHY?!
Monsour Ali won an 800(?) at one of the Belgian meets a couple weeks back, too.
If Kaki breaks down like that in the 8 final at Worlds, Symmonds will own him. Assuming both are in the final, of course.
UP NEXT!

Leo raced like a damn fool. Wasted far too much energy moving from back to front.
