[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NBC did it in gymnastics, too- they pushed out the gym equivalent of Cynthia Potter, Kathy Johnson-Clarke, and have been trying out a series of former athletes who in my opinion are not qualified for the role and make watching gymnastics annoying. In the replay I’m watching, Laura Wilkinson is doing the announcing and she’s terrible.

In the past it’s been easy to get the European feeds with generally superior announcers, but it’s been hit-or-miss this Olympics and I can only seem to get them for less popular sports. [/quote]

Kathy an amazing voice in this sport and her Twitter feed is absolutely perfection. That being said, I don't remember her doing a lot of commentary for the Olympics in ages. She was mostly doing collegiate commentary. On primetime it was Elfie Schlegel and then Nastya Liukin  and now Sam Peszek [/quote]

…and next Olympics, it will be Laurie Hernandez doing the prime time show.

It’s like when Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir were the second team in Sochi, and performed so well that they became the first team by the next Olympics in South Korea.[/quote]
