It's a really strange feeling to watch an event like this with a commentary that you don't understand, especially to see how you react differently to the film depending on how it's presented - and if anything it heightens the excitement to watch the Usain Bolt race in a 'foreign' language. Interesting way of demonstrating that different 'packaging' (commentary) effects how you receive the same content.
