Have found most of the commentary/punditry I've heard so far completely amateurish, cringeworthy and annoying. Seems to be particularly applicable to the snowboarding. Never been this irritated during other Winter Olympics (or Summer, or that matter). Inexperienced commentators perhaps? Suppose it is the first time this has been shown on such a wide scale so it might take a bit of perfecting.

It's because they are essentially amateurs...the Beeb has so little sport especially when it comes to a once every 4 years event, that they wheel out the equivalent of Radio Swindon STFC summarisers. FWIW I thought the snow boarding was OK...not a sport I know much about beyond the Flying Tomato...but thought they captured the feel of the event well. |

Don't get why they have people like Matthew Pinsent or Steve Cram (curling  ) commentating ? |

Justify their taxpayers funded wages I suppose, Steve Cram is pretty decent actually.

I don't know anything about snowboarding really, but the contrast in commentary style has just been something I have noticed in particular. Special mention goes to the 3 who "treated" viewers to an earful of "easy like Sunday morning" at the weekend. That was truly barrel-scraping stuff. |

We have a good record in finding women who are very good in sliding down on a tea tray on ice.

Must have been fans of Last of the Summer Wine, didn't they do that sort of shit in most episodes? |
