[OFF TOPIC] Sports Commentators

[dcro 10,210]

It's always a delight to listen to Jimmy Wofford's comments.

 

Some highlights from yesterday include:

 

• "Competition makes good athletes better and bad athletes worse."
• "Fatigue makes cowards of us all."
• "In my experience there are three kinds of people, those who can count and those who can't."

I don’t know the names of the guys who commented the road races at the 2018 Asian Games last year, but I was watching a replay, and they were very enjoyable to listen too. I hope the IOC picks them up for Tokyo.

Can't imagine Haven saying the s word.

My favourite announcer duo ever is ESPN Latin America's Andrés Agulla and Alex Pombo, which did IndyCar for over a decade. Sadly Agulla was forced to stay doing football.

The famous women 4*400m in Zurich with french commentary yelling.

 

 

At 0.43, you'll hear two "alors peut-être" (~ "but maybe") which has now turned into a proper meme on the french internetz announcing a very unlikely outcome, but still possible.

In the topic, most famous TV announcers yelling was definitely in Novemeber 2009

 

Unforgetable meme started that night. After the final whistle from 08:45 the comentator started even speaking in Zulu or whatever this was, the famous sentence "Wankelekele ensanzi Africa !" Nobody here know until today what the hell this mean, but every slovak sport fan know this sentence by default
