It’s because the were focusing on technique.

The reason for the hate from these announcers is that they are both racist just like the dude from Oklahoma when the girls basketball team took a knee.

That is a good comment.

dont they literally say "WoW!"?

@@mm6461 not everything stems from racism

Exactly

@@jacobtoowavyyy5630 Bad landing. He could've gone 29.

@@grzlbr Exactly... I bet the athlete understands. Can't teach sofa tracksters though.

It’s called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, and every elite athlete welcomes it which why they’re ELITE.

@@davidnelson7719 lmao I’m an actual athlete but what do I know 😭 Ik when an announcer is being genuine trying to give advice and when their not

How tall is he anyways? He made Matt Boling look like a little person!

My younger brother qualified for long and high jump in New York. He won the high jump and came in sixth in long jump.

@@ti84satact12 cool What are his personal bests?

Maybe wilt Chamberlain

@@janiecekeys4765 wilt never competed in the long jump and he was a decent high jump prospect in highschool, nothing too special tho, far from even top national level.

Ever watched Matthew Boling? He looks god awful on the track... but he still wins. Michael Johnson ran pretty damn ugly as well.

His technique did not look great.

Yes they are referring to his form and technique. If he can get those type of results with poor form, imagine what he could get with better technique.... thats what the commentators are implying. Dont make something bigger out of nothing.

@@avidadolares or it could also be telling us that the "better technique" is not the best or least something that's not suitable for him. Before Dick Fosbury all high jumpers used the straddle method and now everyone does the Fosbury flop. It could just be bad technique and maybe he can even improve even further with good technique. I'm certainly not an expert on this field, but it's something to consider at least.

Yea when this ignorant announcer said that, I actually got annoyed. Wow.

Fr, "didn't look good" wtf

@@haidermalik9999 meant didn't look far. some people just look like they don't get height on their jumps, so it looks deceiving

@@joys8634 tru

Absolutely. First, he claims he does not stretch his legs in the sandbox. That's the opposite of this athlete does 0:38. Then you can clearly see the jump is way past the 26 feet mark, like by a food and a half. Sports commentators tend to make the most fact defying remarks, and that is because they feel compelled to talk all the time, this supposedly being the measure of how knowledgeable they are.

@@sorellman The commentators and the athlete would all three get in a huddle and vote you off the island. You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.

This is the proper response. To STTTRRREEEETTTCCCHHHH out the legs would throw your upper body back and possibly result in a shorter jump. Form ISN'T everything.

@@ripvanrevs well form kind of is everything. It would just be incorrect form to do something which makes you jump less far

@Todd m I'm actually an expert on Olympic long jumps; I've watched several of them.

Agreed. I can kind of see what the announcers were talking about, the stretch wasn't as drastic as you usually want, but when the actual jump launches you that far you don't need to strain heh

For those not familiar with freedom units, be aware, they are actually imperial units. Freedom units aren't an actual thing.

Yup wtf is even 27 8 3/4 like who measures like that 😂

@@Skateboardfreakist The people who bailed you out of speaking German full time.

@@davidnelson7719 We're free to use whatever units we want!! That makes EVERY unit a freedom unit.

David Nelson Now our own government is going full commie.

I guess they have never heard of the phrase “a ugly win is better than a pretty loss”.

Why is everybody making such a big deal out of this? Yeah he’s really good but imagine how much better he could be with good technique. Constructive criticism is not always based in malicious intent

@@SkillsDatKillsTv He's breaking records, it ain't broke dont fix it

@@showoutluchie fair

@@SkillsDatKillsTv the announcers never once get excited. Compare that to British announcers post 2012 london olympics when they got rid of Tim Hutchins and the other older guy. And compare to basketball and football announcers. Excitement isn't in these announcers vocabulary. I've listened to Ato and he had better excitement than this guy and that medal winning decathlete that they have a track named after. I'm so mad I don't even wanna use their names. Yeah, they ran well, but their announcing is poor at best. Listen to the same Olympic Ann's world championship commentating in the American version and then the English (British) version then the Kewi version where they have a complete noob announce sometimes. The Americans are dry, get their commentating wrong the most, ignore athletes not on their sheet of paper, and are plain out the laziest guys out there. And they have a team of people that whisper to them. How can that be that bad? And yes, I have experience announcing nationally, albeit youth, and some collegiate PA announcing which is different type of announcing live at the stadiums.

came from the announcers 😭😭

Sarah: The other dislikes from the straight community!

@@eddyvideostar rent free

Dwight and Dan are both Olympic medalists. They watched it and they know their stuff. The young guy is so good that even with slightly flawed technique at the end, he still won, which they acknowledged.

@@davidc6032 I'm shocked how many people in the comments section, and voting on comments, don't actually understand this.

I am the one that gave the thumbs down...That's a tacky bland uniform he's wearing..I would add gold streaks on the side

Every video with over 100K views is gonna have a few people giving it the thumbs down, even if it's someone rescuing puppies from a burning building.

Probably thumbs down for the stupid announcers.

Amen

Thumbs down because of the uniform color / pattern that he has no control over ! Wow...

He was but you missed him

He's sitting there at 1:19

Yeah. I think the winning jump was 8.38 or 8.39 in Rio

@@khumokwezimashapa2245I never heard of anyone doubling in the high and long jump, it’s like one requires weighing nothing to get as high as possible and the other requires a muscular sprinter build to go as fast as possible.

@@archyleach Bruh. I've always wanted to see someone double with HJ and LJ. Until yesterday, I didn't know an athlete could do that. Man I hope we see this bloke do some incredible things some day, because as far as I know. No one has ever double in HJ and LJ in World and Olympic history

✊🏻

@@ashtonlabelle593 white boys can't jump

Blatantly racist

Lol you mean like being Olympic medalists themselves? They were commenting on form and had to wait for the measurement

You mean like... just sit with dead air for 2 minutes? Let me know which station you work for, it would be enjoyable watching you single-handedly implode a network.

that would mean not giving you their gut reaction and editing the video instead.

@@TrainFlood olympic in which year? techniques change with the years.

It is Dwight Stone and Dan O'Brien. They know more about this than you could ever hope to. Sorry if their views on technique hurt your little feelers.

Apparently not.

They most have thought his butt hit first

Couldn’t have!!!! It was clear he was past the 26 foot mark... this is phenomenal! Great things in this young mans future👌🏾

Dwight Stones and Dan O'Brien are very knowledgeable. I agree with the commentators that jump did not look as good as Harrison's winning jump at the SEC Championships. Regardless, one hell of a jump.

Him and Ato Bolden are the best right now

@@cryptoguapo2888 Ato would be even better if NBC let him announce by himself. ESPN Sportscaster Jill Montgomery is also very good.

You're talking to an audience who largely doesn't know anything about Dwight Stones (as an athlete, certainly) or about is announcing career.

@@Dave-lr2wo great high jumper...used to watch him a lot in the late 80’s n 90’s

The greatest world record in the history of sports.

And still, the Olympic record!

@@mr.johnson460 but its not a world record

Yes

You think so? World record is 0.5m ahead of where he landed. That's a lot, would be dope.

I believe one of them is former Olympic medalist and former WR High jumper Dwight Stones

@@pernskyw1289 that definitely doesn't make him qualified to be an announcer for Track. There's so many more qualified actual fans of track and field who follow the sport, just being good doesn't make you well qualified.

Only a track dummy doesn’t know who these guys are. Why don’t you Google first before you make a ridiculous comment?

@@michaeldavis6607 apologies to you and the two other people in the world that are track fans

Dwight Stone has been an announcer for over 30 years for track and field. With that said I want to believe they were criticizing his landing because the take off was great, height and distance were huge. The finer touches to his technique could make him easily a 28 foot or more jumper. He is young so it is entirely possible.

wow pull the race card. So stupid. You're acting like nobody recognizes the worlds greatest athletes because they're black or brown. Please check the legends of the NFL, the NBA, and the NCAA before you minimize JuVaughn's hard work to make YOU feel woke.

@@luisprod.1771 I'm BLACK. Pulling of the "race card" is NULL AND VOID in regards to us (black folk). The term "race card" was established by the white man (among other derogatory terms).

Track is a lot easier on your body. Basketball pros are in pain all the time.

6’4

BTW, he made the olympic standard in the HJ... easily.

I don't think so... with better form it could have been well into 28'. If you were to ask JuVaughn and his coaches after reviewing the tape they would all most likely agree.

That is Dan O'Brien and Dwight Stones. They have more experience in track and field, including jumping, than you could ever hope, and are likely more accomplished than Harrison will ever be. Dan O'Brien: Olympic gold in the decathalon, 3 times world champion, world record holder. Dwight Stones: twice Olympic medalist, 3 times world record holder in high jump. In the Track and Field Hall of Fame. And he has been covering track and field for 25 years

@@bauerj3398 like I said. And it is time for them to get the heck away from our SUPER ATHLETES!!! They don't get to critique what they can't do, or never experienced.
