Canada 3 should be thankful they are not listening to our commentary. It's as if they were expecting them to crash at corner 14, where they came to grief yesterday.
Thank you very much for these threads - they've been very useful.
Best winter games ever for me - loved catching so much of the action online and on tv.
Sochi looks a great place to visit, they've done a good pr job.
I've been looking at the use of Sochi after the games. Crystal Ski do holidays to Sochi. Might look at that next year as all the facilities will be top notch - although it's not recommended for beginners which won't help the family.
I do hope this is Dickensen's last Olympic commentary. He is becoming an embarrassing chunterer and incoherent at times. You can list the errors he makes daily and its not good enough I am afraid. David Vine showed how it was done.
Its not radio !!! you can shut up for a minute and let us hear.
"the roaor of the bobsled " ...well shut up
"the roar of the crowd " ..STFU and let us hear SOME of the sounds and atmosphere.
Its NOT radio at least take a breath.
This is a real problem with nearly all of the commentators, not just at the Olympics but with televised sport generally. They seem to think they're getting paid per word and will. not. shut. up.
Best known for his commentary work on Athletics he has also worked on Basketball, Volleyball, Weightlifting, Canoe Slalom, Yachting, Bobsleigh, Skeleton, Luge, Cross Country Skiing, Speed Skating and Ski Jumping.
He has also commentated on The Lord Mayors Show, Blue Peter, Comic/Sport Relief, World Strongest Man and Superstars.

God help the four men if they don't. - or the Latvians if they take it from them.
No ...... GB are within 0.18 off a medal. Current 3rd place bob is 0.45 behind, GB are 0.63.
Hopefully he will be in better form later on for the 4th run! ........ well we can hope.

Isn't it awful!!! Just an incessant flow of verbal diarrhea.

We really do need a no commentary option.
LOL! What an absolute tool.
oooh and there 1st ...
Really BBC this is what I pay you for ?
I'm not going to miss this commentary.
while it lasted
Graham Bell did that a few times in the slalom yesterday.
and there are good people on the Dole because of him ...
Do you think he realises he IS talking out loud ? not in his head
oohh the are second .....
defies belief.
He did and I don't like him either to be honest.
The Hundreds of freeloaders could be Culled in a second and reduce ourr liocence fee by half.
