This Announcer really dropped the ball here. A high school freshman defeated college track stars! No mention whatsoever?!
He had no idea who she was!
@@Teckers3773 She was listed as unattatched, how would he know?
He mispronounced her name, too. derp
Probably didn’t know since she was unattached
@@haji818721 It's his *job* to know.
When someone that young accomplished something that amazing. This announcer had the chance of a lifetime. She seized the day. He blew it.
She was listed as unattached how would he know? Also this is just a random track and field meet, not the us championship, not the world championship, not the olympics, etc. Also this is not ESPN or NBC or BBC lol. It's flotrack. This type of "announcing" is normal for them. Been that way for years.
@@nickhudd2011 still absolutely no excuse. He must have had a dog in the race.
also unacceptable. .
That was absolutely the worst case of not understanding why he's getting PAID
@@onewordhereonewordthere6975 I agree the commentators for flotrack are mostly shit, but they've been that way for years since I ran track in college back in late 2000's. Maybe I'm just jaded because I don't expect anything from them anymore aside from basic coverage lol
@@nickhudd2011
I think he had a little too much money on a trifecta . Or,
Somebody knew how fast that girl was. And he gave upwards of 10 to one . It makes sense.
@@nickhudd2011 It's track, the announcer might not even be getting paid. Even for flo wrestling, which does very well they don't use professionals all the time. They use local school broadcasters or none. The idea that an announcer is going to know a HS freshman at a local college meet is ridiculous.
In January of 2021, she ran a time that qualifies her for the Olympic trials. This young lady is the real deal.
Fair play to the girl 👍🏴
Her biggest adversary is going to be injury. The #1 thing that prevents athletes from reaching their full potential is injury. Most athletes are clueless on proper warm up and stretching and cool down and maintenance of their bodies. When you are young, you feel so bullet proof and just don't truly understand how much strain you put on your body especially when you are pushing human limits. I hope somehow she gets connected to people who truly understand the proper way to warm up, stretch, cool down, and maintain her body to prevent injury.
Young lady? 'She' has the body frame, bone structure, of a male.
@@michaelrobertson7397 mmhh
@Karl with a K tf
She knew EXACTLY what she was doing! That was planned, calculated, rehearsed and executed to absolute perfection! OUTSTANDING!!!!
Agreed. She stalked the pack, and executed her attack perfectly. She took hearts along the way, too. Her positioning sucked, too, but it didn't matter... the can of whoop-up was NOT going to be denied.
@@wellnesspathforme6236 yep
She knew what she was doing but the announcer hadn't a clue as to what was happening.
@@wellnesspathforme6236 ok looko
@@wellnesspathforme6236 o9o9l lol loooo9oo
That announcer could make the moon landing sound like an everyday event.
"and now there's some guy in a helmet stepping out of the thing that landed on the moon, using some kind of technology, I think. It appears he's wearing some kind of *space suit*. I believe he's carrying some kind of primitive weapon. Oh, wait, it's a flag on a flag pole, I'm being told. The whole place looks really dusty."
@A history of deception Only on the internet.
@A history of deception
Not according to the Soviets and the Chinese.
Exactly!!! I kept thinking 'say something!!'
@Luis Gonzalez
Prove what?
Just to relate... HS Freshman is 10 seconds off the World Record Pace. That is impressive.
Well I'm 13 and I run only 5s slower than her and I know a 13 year old who can probably run faster than her by a second and yes he is a runner.
Btw his name is mekhi
@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 "his"
@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 women's record buddy
@@professionalburnerofcats.9832 you know that a teenage boy should be able to run faster than most women right?
HS Freshman or College? I'm hearing West Point, Texas, ....
great job of pacing herself and not getting tied up in the crowd . she finished strong and didn't leave anything in the tank . she ran like a real pro .
I bet she also ran a tad slower the first lap because it's a banked track and she might not have been used to it. First time I ran on one (Armory in NYC) was somewhat like a treadmill, but different enough to be unnerving.
Hang out at the back of the pack until it's time to win...
According to my calculations, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shite!
@@johnclon1742 outside lane too!
The way she finished I can easily see a "2:02" SOON!!
Tomorrow is near, yet so far away. Choose this day to love unconditionally, and be happy within

@@marksarah4486 Everybody has been talking about (Richard A. Blair Fx) so I'm not surprise you mentioned him again is this his contact
@@marksarah4486 I really need to write him up
Announcer: “They are running. Someone is running faster then someone. They might be finished. No, they kept going. They are running. It’s all girls. They stopped running. It must be over. Somebody won.”
Jfc I'm dead😂🤣
Pretty much
XD
WORST, MORE BORING ANNOUNCER EVER!!
Sounds like Donald Trump in some of his speeches...
"Final 50 meters of the women's 800 meter run.... Bell lap!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Blake G Running bruh I was looking at the times like no way, did I miss a whole lap or are they that fast?
It would have been better and more informative if that moron had said nothing
Blake G Running
It’s an indoor meet , tracks are smaller
Jay Hardin what does that have to do with the fact he didn’t know there was another lap left...? Lol
Zero mention of her being a HS runner. This announcer should be ashamed of himself for missing a golden opportunity. Wow. Congrats to the young lady on an epic race. 💚
you should be ashamed for posting something that was no obvious, and wasn't like it was a pro or even collegiate race, amateur announcer wasn't required to know anything...was heat 2 of a nothing race.
It literally feels like the announcer opens and closes his eyes every 5 seconds. He literally missed almost everything in this race
Dear Togishere: What did the announcer miss that we didn't see?
This announcer should never cover anything ever again.
Great job to the winner. She blasted those folks.
@Peter Evans 🤣🤣🤣
No--he should cover divorces. Those need to be made less exciting.
Dear @karlwithak. : Track women are blessed with the opportunity to show off all that workout preparation that always wins -- even though they may fall short of the tape.
Yeah, the announcer sounded really shocked...
clueless and amateurish.
He didnt seem to know anyone else's name but Anna Tovkach and kept talking about her even after she had been passed by three of four people...
I. Rex I hate when they don’t even know what’s happen in the race! Terrible announcer didn’t even give her credit!
Oblivious
Anna was obviously the favourite and nothing and no one was going to put the announcer of his game. Even his race calling was out the window.
What was really impressive is she probably ran longer than any of them. She started on the outside lane and was on the outside for most of the race. Super impressive.
It evens out as the start spots are staggered accordingly to make up for it in these shorter races. She was definitely very impressive for sure.
@@SLoft7241 But there were 2 runners in the same lane before the turn-in, I don't know what happened there. Did one runner go farther outside than she had to, or the other came inside before she could? No mention of disqualification but maybe that came later.
@@davidquinn9676 In order to avoid running 20 or so races (note this is the second womens 800m race, not the fast race, this is the second fastest race, the minor leagues per say) they run a few extra people sometimes, and that puts two people in one lane on the stagger.
This comment should be the highest ranked of them all. This was the only thing "running" through my mind the moment I realized where the race was headed. She #BeyondBeat the entire track, a genuine all-star no longer in the making. Near-perfect performance, truly outstanding.
David Quinn there was 8 girls and only 6 lanes,two lanes were doubled up.
This video gives me confidence I could literally show up at an event like this and make the call with nothing but a roster and 10 mins of prep time
Go for it, Andrew! Participate in a woman's 800 meter race out of the blue, they'll never see it coming! Unless they saw that south park episode.
I don’t even think he had the complete roster. I think he mentioned 3 names. Ugh
He must have been announcing 100+ races that day. This is the B heat of the womens 800m (not the fastest heat).
@@medexamtoolsdotcom LOL. You are a dumbass. He was talking about the horrible announcer, not the girls racing dip shit...
10 minutes? Gimme a piece of paper with numbers and a cup of coffee to do a way better job then him.
really, thats how you announce an indoor 800...worst announcing ever
labGeek yeah
The field itself looks crowded and disorganised
Announcer still peeved he had to announce a girls race.
He has the same calling skills as Joe Buck, so he might go far. Lol
That's what the announcer would have done at my high school's junior varsity meet.
Horrible announcer...
Edit: the 15 year old HS freshman on the other hand.. Holy crap that was a comback for the records! She has a bright future ahead of her.
Jason Jennings right
these are not professionals...to say the least....but to be that unprepared without doing the homework for this race, no excuse.
Honestly seeing a young girl compete at this level is not surprising grace ping did the same thing a few years ago. Unfortunately when these girls hit puberty they slow down... (she is by far the skinniest one)
if she doesn't burn out
@@DavidDavid-fp6gv contradiction? "....is not surprising....", ".....did the same thing a few years ago". I'm pretty sure the fact that a girl did this years ago, is in it and of itself, makes it very surprising. It doesn't happen often by your own admission.
Absolutely impressive from dead last steadily continued to accelerate throughout the entire length 👏
Not even accelerating, just holding the pace while everyone else falters
Wow! Amazing strategy! And so disappointed in the announcer not recognizing her amazing race! You got girl...a bright future awaits you.....your hard work is paying off...so proud of you! 💪. 👍 💛 💯 🇨🇦
To Telemeg: Announcers are like swift "clerks" who commentate on the task at hand while looking at his backlog to complete.
what did she do before this (she was a highschool freshman remember) for anyone to know here? Was the 2nd heat, one of the slowest of the entire race, not to mention this announcer has to announce all the heats of all the races, 100s of races during the day, so he didn't know what was at the time a nobody in a nobody race?
Wow they have no reaction to her winning lol
Guess announcers had no idea she was 15 and a high school student?
@@Thomas-fk3cw exactly xD
Maybe it’s not true she’s a hs freshman
disrespect
they knew one would win and others would finish behind ... 😂
He needs to go back to Announcer School and retake the classes on Enthusiasm and Remembering Names.
Heroic run by someone that is a HS Freshman....that is real HEART. What a talent....and even more exciting to see her come from the back of the pack that way.
First running video I can recall with 21 million views. You are famous Sophia. Congrats on a great race - looking foward to seeing your college career. Racing maturity well beyond your years.
This vid makes me realize how much, over the years, I've taken good race commentary for granted. Thank you Ato Boldon et al for the work that you put in to provide exciting and informative commentary.
Thinking the same thing
The announcement should be centered in the runner who was last at the beginning of the race. How she gradually overtook one runner at a time, and finally came out to be the winner at the end. That is the most exciting part. I have to go back and watch it the second and third times to really appreciate this runner's ability and strategy.
I did that once it felt great
Like Rich Strike did
If you hadn't seen the race would you be centered on the last place runner? Didn't think so....only reason you know to look now is because she ended up winning, bet you couldn't pick her out before knowing who she was and what she did? Pathetic
Best pacing and adherence to strategy that I have ever seen. Exceptional discipline, and confidence in her ability to turn it on over the last two laps.
There were only two laps haha
@@TheGoldfather there was four it’s a 200m track
Best run I’ve seen in a very long time. Great effort.
I came here to leave a comment about the “announcer” (😳), but I see that you have it covered! 😂
ANNOUNCER HIGHLIGHTS: "And now some girl is passing another girl. And.... yeah... some girls are running! It looks like some girl is coming up from behind. And, ... yes... a girl won the race! I'm sure she has a great name. I just have no idea what it is! So, good job to... what's her name."
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😅😂
Loren Scott 👊👊👊
😂 perfect.
Incredible determination by the winner! She turned on the jets and blew em all away
Her endurance and will along w strategy was phenomenal
A masterful effort by the young lady.
@Silence isGolden Liar! Stay the fuck' off all posts. You're A LOW LIFE RAT😣😤😤🐀🐀🐀🐀💩💩💩
@@captainamericaamerica8090 lol
Freestyle young lady? YOUNG BEAST!
What was his name again? Thanks Joe for nuthin.
They’re all young ladies.
This has got to be the worst announcer I've ever heard
It’s like nascar go fast left around the track,really not much else to say.
Keep watching more of these videos and you'll find a lot worse. And yes, this guy was pretty bad.
Apparently you never heard of Howard Cosell.
@@johnostaszweski2189 he said final 50m when there was still another lap to go. he didn't seem to know anyone's name or anything about them. he's silent as the 2nd place runner passes on the final turn to kick for the win.
Ah but you have heard him.
Oh my goodness. What a race!! Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. 🏃♂️🏃♀️
What a beautiful show of athleticism! Bravo, young lady. I hope you continue to get better and compete in the Olympic Games one day.
She did just perfect: hang out at the back of the pack until it's time to win...
According to my calculations, when this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious shite!
She beat my 800 meters I ran in HS like 42 years ago. A 2:07 on a regular outdoors track. Females of this era are amazing. Keep it up!
Tell us more. Please!
Especially the girls with testicles!
@@nimriffirmin4937 😁
I ran faster than that in High School - but not by much.
I was also assigned as the training partner during part of our Junior year to the lady that turned out to be the Indiana High School champion, Lorrrie Sweigman - who ran a 2:18 to win that year.
This was in the 880 yard, not the 800 meter - but the lengths are only about a half percent different.
THAT WAS AWESOME 👏!
She paced them and picked them off one by one.
Can’t wait to see her in the Olympics!
What Olympics?
@@aspenrebel The one and only..
@@user-ou9mn8pj5c there weren't no Olympics, may not be in Summer 2021 either. Boston Marathon in April 2021 was just canceled.
The excitement in the announcers voice was over the top crazy man! Wuhooooo!!!!
Oh yeah, you could hear the excitement in his voice.
Love how the announcer has NO CLUE lol ... at least he could have admitted he didn't know who she was. Incredible race by that young lady!!!
Announcer must have been reading "Better Homes & Gardens" during the race.
True!
I love it how the crowd went crazy when she won
Yeah, reminds me of the announcer.
I was going to complain about the announcer but see a bunch beat me to it! lol Well raced Sophia!
Watching her slowly pass everyone and finish strong in first is super satisfying.
Change the title to “worst track announcer in history SHOCKING” some like that
LMAO!
For real!!!
Worst track announcer.
Amazing at the end he just wanders off to the water table like he’s just been for warm up
This is top-notch quality! 👌
You see, this is why the 800m is my fav event💯👑🐐
Bell lap at the 1:35 mark. Nice run for SOPHIA GORRIARAN who came from last place to win.
Thank u for this ❤❤
So impressive. My best in college was only 2:09. She has a great future! 👏
she executed her strategy perfectly from the get go...awesome work young lady!!!!
Shes a finisher for sure. That young lady got faster and faster as the race went on. She will be a gold medalist someday.
In his last job he used to say...
"Can I take your order ?"
🙄😂
And his future job.
My god the commentator was like - " yeah they just completed some race by the way" what a listless and soulless commentary
FloTrack videos are just amazing. I saw one where the record finish was not even showed. Another where the announcer was humiliating the second place finisher. And now this. Top quality.
Dear Samrester 6254: Links and data to the announcer's mockery, please?
Decent speed, especially on that last lap!
The 800m is a strategy race. This young lady executed perfectly.
Wow the announcer did such a great job. Made it so exciting to watch. LOL
Dear James Knuckles 1655: Thank you.
The absolute worst announcer for such a great, drammatic, come back from behind win..
@Sare Wtf relax lmao. How is that not dramatic. Just cause you can’t enjoy a women’s race doesn’t mean other people cant. No one is saying she would beat top guys but thats why female sports exist.
@Sare hey man, her comeback victory was pretty hype. Chill out
Super run. Thanks
Good on her. All the best from New Zealand.
Even paced running is not even effort running, but it's the most efficient and effective. Almost always produces the fastest times.
Amazing effort by frshman, almost zero effort by announcer. That was 10 times more exciting than he made it seem, what a shame.
If i hadn't looked at the comments I would not have a clue as to why this race was special in the slightest.
Thanks for posting wow what I come back
Sophia's time of 2:06.69 in the 800m is breathtaking considering she is a high school freshman! There isn't a track fan now who isn't aware of her and her great potential! She is now one of the leading female high school runners in the world and perhaps the top freshman on the planet!
Saw your comment on a short, lowly viewed interview of hers from last year and had to track back to this video to make sure it was the same guy. Big fan, eh?
UK here - I get confused with these age/grade references used in USA. Whats a freshman? Whats a sophomore etc?
@@EdinburghMayhem A high school freshman is about 14-15 years old.
Sophomore is the next year, then junior and then senior.
@@EdinburghMayhem freshman is 9th grade. Normally highschool is the last 4 years before university 9-12th grades. Gradeschool is Kindergarten thru 8th grade, some separate and have a middle school which is 5th thru 8th grade.
AWESOME!!!!! She waited for her time and murked em hard af!! Great stride and kick at the end. This is probably the most grueling event for me.
@Gary Beaton my coach made me train with the cross country in order for me to improve my stamina. I hated it every minute of it 😂😂, but it did help my 800!
Perfect execution! Nice to watch.
The announcer sounds like Dawn Lazarus from SNL giving the weather forecast - HAP. 😂😂😂
Damn you would not know she is in high school with that overwhelming announcer
She was entered unattached. There are tons of races at these meets. The problem is many states do not allow high school runners to run track with college runners.
To Texas: Howdy! It's a possibility that female high school sports are not exactly the World Series or the World Cup. The announcer's enthusiasm would even be hard to fake. The memory of their names would be evanescent, unnecessary, mind-clogging for diminished avail.
I haven't seen such disregard for an amazing win, his daughter must have lost the heat or something he couldn't even come up with a name. Acknowledgment is not just for insiders.
Quite possibly the most impressive win in the history of ever.
👍👍. 2 years later. Excellent!
That announcer mispronounced her name and basically failed in every imaginable way. He really should find another line of work.
That 20 seconds of dead air after the race started..
Bruh it’s a womens 800m, chill the fuck out
He kept referring to the curve on the track as "the back straightaway".
Doubt thats his day job but who gets paid for this?
Don't be that rud3 mate people.have feelings
Going from last to first. And that's how the announcer reacts. Lol!
Running, Something you have to enjoy to do. Either you like doing it or not. Hats off to all the people who do my part.
Yep, hated running from as long as I can remember myself :)
Saber que puedes ganar, te impulsa al esfuerzo máximo.
Felicidades
If you check out this young lady's resume online it is so very much more than this one race. She is nothing short of a phenom!
She came from last place and passed the entire field and he couldn’t mention her name, or even acknowledge she was on the track until after the race finished?
Yeah he absolutely sucked.
Exactly!! Absutely pitiful, shameful!!
When Sophia took the lead the announcer didn't know who she was and that's why he didn't say anything.
Announcer's last name must be Biden.
@@joecausey8508 You're a shit heel.
Just a walk in the park!!! Great job 👍 👏
The announcer sounded like he had no clue about the winner. 😂
Dear Fly Vtech04: This is not the Olympics.
@@eddyvideostarI think that’s very obvious. 🤦🏻♂️
"If you win, we will get pizza on the way home" *comeback music starts to play*
That is so impressive, I can't even believe it. A FRESHMAN!!!
Amazing when a young lady comes forward with that kind of performance. She took that race like she owned it. Division 1 schools, you need to talk to this young lady
if that is really an unattached HS freshman out running NCAA talent, she got a bright future
This young lady has track n field in her genes .Congrats to you on an excellent performance
Hang out at the back of the pack until it's time to win...
This has to be one of the most spectacular comebacks
Talk about running your own race, masterclass.
Announcer: "Boom goes the dynamite."
I learned so much from that announcer.
The announcer just wanted to be at home watching football
1:32 That was the longest final 50 meters I have ever witnessed!
The announcer had no idea how long a meter is, for starters. When the front runner (Tovkach I think) was barely 1 meter ahead, he called it 5 metres!
Wow. Congratulations young lady
Literal silence from the announcer at the end😂😂
Electrifying commentary
Electrocuted Commentry !!
works perfectly, thank you
Super . Great effort
She is 14 years old and has been a speedster since she was in elementary school!
