Canadian commentary. The legendary Don Wittman as lead announcer unfortunately paired with someone who apparently thought there was an Ethiopian called Gabriel- Selassie. Wittman was often paired with the way better Geoff Gowan. Nobody could call a race like those 2 guys. RIP both.
I didn't know Don Wittman had died. Very sad to hear. He knew so much about x-country and track, especially for someone who covered so many different sports during his career. And, yes, he and Geoff Gowan were a dream team together. I'm from Seattle but was lucky to be able to get Don and Geoff on CBC rather than suffering through the American coverage.
excellent commentary
Great video! Thank u for posting
