A) Very valid point in that the commentators should've been better informed.B) Ingebritsen is the reigning European 1500m and 5000m champion, so I would say he was on more familiarity and interest to a European audience.C) Where exactly do you find out as much info about Mengesha, Worku and Chelimo as you do about Ingebritsen? Extremely difficult to learn about those athletes in comparison to a reigning European Champion.In summary, yes they should've done better with things like getting the athletes nationalities right, referring to them as 'the lead pack' rather than the 'africans' but at the same time you have understand the context and the audience somewhat. Commentating on a running race, especially before it starts and in the opening couple of laps is pretty boring, so they fill it with talk about the better known athletes.I'm sure if you could find an Ethiopian, Kenyan or Ugandan commentary of the race it would be quite different in some regards but also give more mention to Ingebritsen than is typical for a 12th place finisher.
