It would have been nice if the commentators knew that Rooks was the fastest American collegiate ever in steeple instead of focusing on 2nd and 3rd after he finished.

[@jredwin9938]

Was 2nd fastest. Rono holds the record, in the 70's

[@RS-tz2zn]

@@jredwin9938 Yes, that will be a tough one to beat, maybe next year? If he hadn't fallen at nationals, he maybe could have run sub- 8:10, so getting close.

[@RS-tz2zn]

Well, he did mange to run sub 8:10 at the Olympics!

[@bharbertson]

Rooks! What a run!

[@PennNielson]

Lets go Kenneth!!!

[@camillanelson3651]

Go Rooks! 🎉

[@joejoejoe4577]

You listen to these American commentators and it just emphasises how exceptional Steve Cram is.

[@elijahmandel320]

What electrifying commentary

[@nc8186]

Is that sarcasm

[@elijahmandel320]

@@nc8186 yes

[@nc8186]

@elijah glad I wasn't the only one lol. Imagine being announcer and having no idea someone ran a collegiate #2. You can tell the whole time they just wanted to talk about beamish and when he wasn't up front they didn't know what to say

[@AnthonyMata]

So sad they didn’t get beamish kick

[@michaelbfree2run883]

had to watch this replay after watching his victory at USAs!!!!

[@brentburnett6658]

Camera 🎥 crew focused on the winner and missed that photo finish between 2nd and 3rd 🥉 oops!
📣 announcers did fine but they totally overlooked Rooks. Makes sense when you have Hillary Bore the favorite or heavy favorite. Beamish has a nice pr but rooks just smashed it out of the park. The collegiate Athlete from byu just put the ncaa on notice. Yikes 😱

[@floydrigby1587]

What a Race Rooks. We love following you. I hope you can feel our support and admiration from St George!

[@nolanbowen8800]

Classic George

[@danl2479]

Terrible camera work robbed us of another Beamish finish where he snatched second place by a whisker!

[@EtymologyWords]

Rooks is the new blonde. 😂

[@ggardner5784]

Watching 1st through the finish, instead of seeing a battle for 2nd and 3rd… come on

[@gracehyatt4645]

Wow! Total disregard for the winner. These talking heads should give some praise to the one who won the race fair and square. At least a little bit?😢
