I'm sure you are right. I misheard her opening link to be honest.

Solheim Cup on Sky Sports.
Sarah Stirk anchoring with Ewen Murray, Richard Kaufman, Mickey Walker, Laura Davies and Christina Kim commentating (in longer than usual 50 minute stints). On the course Tim Barter, Janice Moodie and Trish Johnson. Radio Five Sports Extra had Iain Carter, Karen Stupples, Maureen Madill and Conor McNamara and they were all together commentating on the NBC feed. For the last hour I was in bed and had the pictures from Sky and the Radio 5 commentary on headphones and they were in sync!! Never known that for golf before. The BBC could have saved a fortune and done it from the UK. https://twitter.com/iaincartergolf/s...517952/photo/1 |

Cylcing :Tour de Fjords - Rob Hatch and Daniel Lloyd for British Eurosport 2 (HD)
Safe to assume Sky Sports took the NZ and RSA feeds for the Rugby Championship games today? |

She is Sky's best female sports presenter by miles and probably the best for many, many years. Just compare her to Sarah Jane Mee constantly looking down to read out pre prepared questions. When David Livingstone retires I wonder if Sarah may well become Sky's only female main number 1 presenter on a major sport. |

A name from the past - sad to read Norman De Mesquita's obituary.
I'm sure many people will remember him. He's recently died at 81 - apparently he had attended at least one day of every Lords test match since 1945 - ie 68 years - since when he was 13. |

Intrigued that last night's WTA Semi-Final on BT Sport 2 is flagged as 'Live'.

I guess the programme is live as they are showing the final live later and so they've just got a live DOG on throughout?

Yes, she host a new children's sports show on Saturday mornings called Game Changers.
Sarah Stirk is a miles better golf presenter because, unlike Di, Sarah actually knows her stuff properly. Di is better suited to more "general personality" type stuff. |

Also Christina Kim is just fab. Not a fan of Richard Kaufman though, would have much preferred Rob Lee or Critchley. |

I was surprised David Livingstone wasn't used for such a big event but have to agree Stirk has been excellent.

Recently retired Marion Bartoli has said via her twitter page that she'll be working for Eurosport International (& France) for the US Open.
