They speak well or, at least, adequately. They have accents. A better gauge of their knowledge of English would be to see how well they write.

If you're having trouble understanding them, you should travel more and try to leave your provincial mindset behind. English is spoken all over the world with many different accents.

Webb definitely looks shell-shocked or scared. Staring into space, imagining himself falling farther & farther back down the homestretch, I'd guess.

Lagat looks composed as always.
If Alan doesn't do it now, it's gonna be tough for him to keep the fire and competitiveness and wait another 4 years for a shot.
I wish him the best of luck, but I think his mental weakness & panic is ultimately going to let him down in the finals.

I think it will go Lagat, Leo and Luckezic (I just realized I picked all L's to win, these are my picks) I just don't know with Webb, he started good this year, then fell off and now seems to be rounding into form. Maybe he is just playing his poker hand well and making himself look more vulnerable than he really is and he will bust out and kill everybody, I don't know. But I am sticking to my 3 L's. The 3 L'migos. That was really bad, I'm sorry.
