He had no idea who she was!

@@Teckers3773 She was listed as unattatched, how would he know?

He mispronounced her name, too. derp

Probably didn’t know since she was unattached

@@haji818721 It's his *job* to know.

She was listed as unattached how would he know? Also this is just a random track and field meet, not the us championship, not the world championship, not the olympics, etc. Also this is not ESPN or NBC or BBC lol. It's flotrack. This type of "announcing" is normal for them. Been that way for years.

@@nickhudd2011 still absolutely no excuse. He must have had a dog in the race. also unacceptable. . That was absolutely the worst case of not understanding why he's getting PAID

@@onewordhereonewordthere6975 I agree the commentators for flotrack are mostly shit, but they've been that way for years since I ran track in college back in late 2000's. Maybe I'm just jaded because I don't expect anything from them anymore aside from basic coverage lol

@@nickhudd2011 I think he had a little too much money on a trifecta . Or, Somebody knew how fast that girl was. And he gave upwards of 10 to one . It makes sense.

@@nickhudd2011 It's track, the announcer might not even be getting paid. Even for flo wrestling, which does very well they don't use professionals all the time. They use local school broadcasters or none. The idea that an announcer is going to know a HS freshman at a local college meet is ridiculous.

Agreed. She stalked the pack, and executed her attack perfectly. She took hearts along the way, too. Her positioning sucked, too, but it didn't matter... the can of whoop-up was NOT going to be denied.

@@wellnesspathforme6236 yep

She knew what she was doing but the announcer hadn't a clue as to what was happening.

@@wellnesspathforme6236 ok looko

@@wellnesspathforme6236 o9o9l lol loooo9oo

Fair play to the girl 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Her biggest adversary is going to be injury. The #1 thing that prevents athletes from reaching their full potential is injury. Most athletes are clueless on proper warm up and stretching and cool down and maintenance of their bodies. When you are young, you feel so bullet proof and just don't truly understand how much strain you put on your body especially when you are pushing human limits. I hope somehow she gets connected to people who truly understand the proper way to warm up, stretch, cool down, and maintain her body to prevent injury.

Young lady? 'She' has the body frame, bone structure, of a male.

@@marksarah4486 Everybody has been talking about (Richard A. Blair Fx) so I'm not surprise you mentioned him again is this his contact

@@marksarah4486 I really need to write him up

I bet she also ran a tad slower the first lap because it's a banked track and she might not have been used to it. First time I ran on one (Armory in NYC) was somewhat like a treadmill, but different enough to be unnerving.

Hang out at the back of the pack until it's time to win... According to my calculations, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shite!

@@johnclon1742 outside lane too!

The way she finished I can easily see a "2:02" SOON!!

Well I'm 13 and I run only 5s slower than her and I know a 13 year old who can probably run faster than her by a second and yes he is a runner. Btw his name is mekhi

@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 "his"

@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 women's record buddy

@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 you know that a teenage boy should be able to run faster than most women right?

HS Freshman or College? I'm hearing West Point, Texas, ....

Jason Jennings right

these are not professionals...to say the least....but to be that unprepared without doing the homework for this race, no excuse.

Honestly seeing a young girl compete at this level is not surprising grace ping did the same thing a few years ago. Unfortunately when these girls hit puberty they slow down... (she is by far the skinniest one)

if she doesn't burn out

@@DavidDavid-fp6gv contradiction? "....is not surprising....", ".....did the same thing a few years ago". I'm pretty sure the fact that a girl did this years ago, is in it and of itself, makes it very surprising. It doesn't happen often by your own admission.

you should be ashamed for posting something that was no obvious, and wasn't like it was a pro or even collegiate race, amateur announcer wasn't required to know anything...was heat 2 of a nothing race.

Dear Togishere: What did the announcer miss that we didn't see?

@Peter Evans 🤣🤣🤣

No--he should cover divorces. Those need to be made less exciting.

Dear​ @karlwithak. : Track women are blessed with the opportunity to show off all that workout preparation that always wins -- even though they may fall short of the tape.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Blake G Running bruh I was looking at the times like no way, did I miss a whole lap or are they that fast?

It would have been better and more informative if that moron had said nothing

Blake G Running It’s an indoor meet , tracks are smaller

Jay Hardin what does that have to do with the fact he didn’t know there was another lap left...? Lol

It evens out as the start spots are staggered accordingly to make up for it in these shorter races. She was definitely very impressive for sure.

@@sherrilofting7241 But there were 2 runners in the same lane before the turn-in, I don't know what happened there. Did one runner go farther outside than she had to, or the other came inside before she could? No mention of disqualification but maybe that came later.

@@davidquinn9676 In order to avoid running 20 or so races (note this is the second womens 800m race, not the fast race, this is the second fastest race, the minor leagues per say) they run a few extra people sometimes, and that puts two people in one lane on the stagger.

This comment should be the highest ranked of them all. This was the only thing "running" through my mind the moment I realized where the race was headed. She #BeyondBeat the entire track, a genuine all-star no longer in the making. Near-perfect performance, truly outstanding.

David Quinn there was 8 girls and only 6 lanes,two lanes were doubled up.

Go for it, Andrew! Participate in a woman's 800 meter race out of the blue, they'll never see it coming! Unless they saw that south park episode.

I don’t even think he had the complete roster. I think he mentioned 3 names. Ugh

He must have been announcing 100+ races that day. This is the B heat of the womens 800m (not the fastest heat).

@@medexamtoolsdotcom LOL. You are a dumbass. He was talking about the horrible announcer, not the girls racing dip shit...

10 minutes? Gimme a piece of paper with numbers and a cup of coffee to do a way better job then him.

Guess announcers had no idea she was 15 and a high school student?

@@Thomas-fk3cw exactly xD

Maybe it’s not true she’s a hs freshman

disrespect

they knew one would win and others would finish behind ... 😂

labGeek yeah

The field itself looks crowded and disorganised

Announcer still peeved he had to announce a girls race.

He has the same calling skills as Joe Buck, so he might go far. Lol

That's what the announcer would have done at my high school's junior varsity meet.

Not even accelerating, just holding the pace while everyone else falters

To Telemeg: Announcers are like swift "clerks" who commentate on the task at hand while looking at his backlog to complete.

what did she do before this (she was a highschool freshman remember) for anyone to know here? Was the 2nd heat, one of the slowest of the entire race, not to mention this announcer has to announce all the heats of all the races, 100s of races during the day, so he didn't know what was at the time a nobody in a nobody race?

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

😅😂

Loren Scott 👊👊👊

😂 perfect.

clueless and amateurish.

He didnt seem to know anyone else's name but Anna Tovkach and kept talking about her even after she had been passed by three of four people...

I. Rex I hate when they don’t even know what’s happen in the race! Terrible announcer didn’t even give her credit!

Oblivious

Anna was obviously the favourite and nothing and no one was going to put the announcer of his game. Even his race calling was out the window.

I did that once it felt great

Like Rich Strike did

If you hadn't seen the race would you be centered on the last place runner? Didn't think so....only reason you know to look now is because she ended up winning, bet you couldn't pick her out before knowing who she was and what she did? Pathetic

There were only two laps haha

@@TheGoldfather there was four it’s a 200m track

What Olympics?

@@aspenrebel The one and only..

@@user-ou9mn8pj5c there weren't no Olympics, may not be in Summer 2021 either. Boston Marathon in April 2021 was just canceled.

It’s like nascar go fast left around the track,really not much else to say.

Keep watching more of these videos and you'll find a lot worse. And yes, this guy was pretty bad.

Apparently you never heard of Howard Cosell.

@@johnostaszweski2189 he said final 50m when there was still another lap to go. he didn't seem to know anyone's name or anything about them. he's silent as the 2nd place runner passes on the final turn to kick for the win.

Ah but you have heard him.

Tell us more. Please!

Especially the girls with testicles!

@@nimriffirmin4937 😁

I ran faster than that in High School - but not by much. I was also assigned as the training partner during part of our Junior year to the lady that turned out to be the Indiana High School champion, Lorrrie Sweigman - who ran a 2:18 to win that year. This was in the 880 yard, not the 800 meter - but the lengths are only about a half percent different.

She did just perfect: hang out at the back of the pack until it's time to win... According to my calculations, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shite!

Thinking the same thing

LMAO!

For real!!!

Worst track announcer.

Saw your comment on a short, lowly viewed interview of hers from last year and had to track back to this video to make sure it was the same guy. Big fan, eh?

UK here - I get confused with these age/grade references used in USA. Whats a freshman? Whats a sophomore etc?

@@EdinburghMayhem A high school freshman is about 14-15 years old. Sophomore is the next year, then junior and then senior.

@@EdinburghMayhem freshman is 9th grade. Normally highschool is the last 4 years before university 9-12th grades. Gradeschool is Kindergarten thru 8th grade, some separate and have a middle school which is 5th thru 8th grade.

@@joecausey8508 You're a shit heel.

@Sare Wtf relax lmao. How is that not dramatic. Just cause you can’t enjoy a women’s race doesn’t mean other people cant. No one is saying she would beat top guys but thats why female sports exist.

@Sare hey man, her comeback victory was pretty hype. Chill out

That 20 seconds of dead air after the race started..

Bruh it’s a womens 800m, chill the fuck out

He kept referring to the curve on the track as "the back straightaway".

Doubt thats his day job but who gets paid for this?

Don't be that rud3 mate people.have feelings

Dear Samrester 6254: Links and data to the announcer's mockery, please?

Dear James Knuckles 1655: Thank you.

@Gary Beaton my coach made me train with the cross country in order for me to improve my stamina. I hated it every minute of it 😂😂, but it did help my 800!

Yep, hated running from as long as I can remember myself :)

Yeah he absolutely sucked.

Exactly!! Absutely pitiful, shameful!!

She was entered unattached. There are tons of races at these meets. The problem is many states do not allow high school runners to run track with college runners.

To Texas: Howdy! It's a possibility that female high school sports are not exactly the World Series or the World Cup. The announcer's enthusiasm would even be hard to fake. The memory of their names would be evanescent, unnecessary, mind-clogging for diminished avail.

It seems almost as if you are the fastest you get to break a piece of tape.

@BR Goodie you either are not a serious runner or not a runner at all, disgraceful.
