Mid Life Crisis Man Wrote:Speaking of commentators, I have been really impressed with Steve Ovett who's over here doing commentary at the Comwelf Games track events. Bloody brilliant! Can we keep him?
Of course you can. We've got Seb Coe . . .
I agree on Ovett as a pundit. He's doubling up for the Beeb on their broadcasts home. Ovett is very un-PC, direct, insightful, calls a spade a spade - no pussy-footing about; 'that guy's just not pulling his weight- he shouldn't be out here.' - cracking stuff.
On the jingoistic support front I confess we're just as partial, albeit a smidgeon less demonstrative. With that in mind I'd just like to big up the swimmers from these shores; our medal tally is unexpected and extremely heartening, even if Grant (can't) Hackett and the Thorpedo are unable to get wet this time. Interesting to see how close we'd be to the mighty Green & Gold as Team GB . . .
