Dunno about that. Our own :GBR athletics commentators who suddenly find themselves doing the Olympic bobsleigh have certainly matched that standard.

And to think Martin Haven (and John Morgan), the gods of bobsleigh commentary, are native English speakers...throw them a bag of money and let's go.

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Definitely not sarcastic, but honestly I also don't think it's a matter of being dumb :p

 

My guess is that the main athletics commentator, who is sick, was supposed to be replaced by someone who is kind of the default backup commentator...but he also wasn't available, so the guy doing it today is someone who as far as I know literally only does commentary for football usually.

 

With that in mind, he actually did a pretty good job overall, just that Perkovic/Elkasevic mistake was a bit unfortunate :d 

okay but like he just assumed Croatia had another great discus thrower ,also named Sandra ?,no i'm gonna consider that as being dumb

Yeah, that’s what happened eventually. In the old days the BBC always used their contracted guys no matter how bad they were.  But that particular guy was just so terrible that they had to give that idea up.
