Werloc 3,127 Posted August 17, 2022 #351 Share Posted August 17, 2022 With how these championships are going for team Lithuania, I'd say it's right about time to miss the discus throw and triple jump finals in a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presenter tried to call it 'modest' and then Denise Lewis said that it's "known in the industry as 'pretty woeful'" and they built it up correctly well, apart from their excessive British-centric commentary, at least BBC people know what they're talking of... but those commentators on the international feed are often a true disaster, they don't even know the basics of the sport they're watching (I read some heavy critics also against sky UK for their coverage of the AUS vs ARG rugby match last weekend, talking of disappointing international feeds)...

Mkbw50 381 Posted August 17, 2022 #354 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I don't think the BBC athletics team is too British-centric tbh. Of course they will be partisan and excited when a Brit does well (that's to be expected) but they do appreciate athletes from anywhere. The main complaint they get is that they neglect the field (but everyone does that) As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main complaint they get is that they neglect the field (but everyone does that) well, in Italy we're a bit luckier...our commentators usually pay good attention to the field events (especially when the Italians are there, of course, but not only in that case)... sure, last night with Jacobs ready to go in the 100m final, they missed to show the last throws in women's discus, but that's excusable...

Mkbw50 381 Posted August 17, 2022 #357 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Pretty much every track event is shown live, but they will show the field when they feel like it - often only showing the last throws live. Sometimes after discussing the track they will have a 'round-up' of the field action. Luckily for the Commonwealth Games and for this there was the option for a feed without studio analysis too.
