Leigh Diffey has been stereotyped, if you will, as the speed guy at NBC Sports. He's the lead announcer for this weekend's Indianapolis 500 and most of his network involves sports that go fast. His next assignment has Diffey covering the fastest athletes in the world. The 50-year-old Australian has been named play-by-play announcer of NBC Olympics’ track & field coverage for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. (Joe Skibinski/IndyCar via AP)
