Look being the right word! |

Really enjoyed the Olympics so far, Team GB are doing very well..hopefully they can keep that up.
That said, I have a real gripe with pretty much all the commentary teams in the Individual Event.
Swimming...It doesn't matter what lane we have been drawn in...Its the best lane to be in...If we are in 6th or 7th...we are in a great potition....If another nation is out in the lead...they have gone off too hard etc. When an swimmer is fading or coming through the field it isnt picked up on.
Sailing...Ben Ainslie is constantly 'cutting through the field...only to finish 12th (I know he had a great day yesterday)
Rowing 'Same as swimming, the Mens lightweight coxless 4 yesterday for example 'BG are surely gonna win this, were cutting through the field and have had a perfect ride...surely...surely....oh its not quite enough'.
I think you get the idea by now. I'm all for commentary teams brimming with pride etc and even being impartial to the degree of cheering our athletes on, but some of the exaggeration and mis-information is just too much for me, I can see where we are and can see how the race is unfolding..why lie?
That said there have been some good commentary teams, the Gymnastic team have called it how it is, and look it has to be said Ian Thorpe has been entertaining too.

| Quote Mad_Jack_Mcmad="Mad_Jack_Mcmad"In the interview I heard Pendleton said she was really sorry for Varnish and also said that it was both of thier fault's.
She was clearly very upset and emotional and I thought it was quite magnanimous of her especially as the whole thing was actually Varnish's fault and Pendleton must've known this before she made the interview.'"
Fair enough - didn't see that bit |

ETA ah well, Silver is still good. Well done Gemma.'"
Don't know a lot about Judo, but this one pleased me, I like the ones who are deemed 'not medal' prospects coming good. Nice to see her telling her mam she loved her as well. |

If another nation had done what our girls have just done in the cycling there would be massive suspicion. They have know broken the world record in each of their last 6 races. That is unbelievable. Is it just the track?
