@bigred60 One reason could be that Malheiros may have walked off, been too far away, and so they grab a person of interest they can get to within the brief moment they have.
@bigred60 They have done this before plenty of times, and we can only speculate as to the reason. I do not think it is malice towards him, since he's a popular athlete.
@bri1990 They're trying to churn up excitement around the leaders. Within each workout there has to be a narrative, otherwise it's just pure play-by-play which is useless.
We saw the same thing back when Mat Fraser or Rich Froning were in the overall lead, but falling behind on a workout.
