"I shouldn’t have been so bold to call it, but I genuinely thought he won."
"Jamaica's gonna do it! Kishane Thompson is a gold medalist!" Well, about that...
"She scared me for a second there, I thought she had picked up an injury."

Diffey will become the 11th person to do play-by-play at the Indy 500 since 1965.
