Even Michael Johnson sounded bemused by the ammount of nonsense spoken by the other pundits. That was the last time I would ever watch athletics on BBC. It was unbereable to listen indeed.

heywoodu 14,391 Posted July 15, 2022 #84 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Anyone else noticing the pronounciation of the athletes' names by the lady doing the commentary on the WA YouTube stream? At least a third of the names isn't even remotely near to what it presumably should be, as in, Wrotynski being pronounced Wrotoroski or Comenentia being 'Comentina' If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 4,181 Posted July 15, 2022 #88 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Norbert Kobielski picked up a foot injury during one of the training jumps and has WD from the HJ quals. Anna Kielbasinska won't start in the 4x400 mixed relay. She was supposed to be in the final line-up only but WA rules state there can only be one change from SF to Final and it will obviously happen with someone else. So Kielbasinska would have to run both SF & F or don't run at all. It will be the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her struggles with names are a byword. Curious to hear her in the events she follows a bit more closely. In hammer throw she mostly sounds like one of them Olympics.com or English Eurosport commentators who do 10 different sports but only know the PB's, SB's and random facts that are on their commentator papers If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
