Re: t-and-f: ESPN Coverage

It is difficult to provide a fair critique of meet coverage when so much of the action is being condensed. I caught about half of the Berlin meeting on Friday evening. I'd give the coverage I saw a B+. However, the effort from the TV Commentators was A. Larry Rawson continues to optimize his
