Sometimes it depends which version you choose on Peacock. Sometimes they use British or Australian commentary, I've seen.

I figure that watching without commentary is like watching any sports event live. At least we can see it and aren't limited to the curated coverage in the evening.

There was commentary for the men.

They didn't provide splits, paces, previous times, or anything that was actually relevant to the race. Most of the time I had no idea how far they'd gone or how much distance was left, and they couldn't even provide information like comparing someone's run position to where they'd finished in the swim segment. The commentary was almost entirely frivolous chatter, as though the announcers had no information at all and were just watching what I was watching and trying to think of something - anything - to say. On the other hand, the swimming was really well done, right down to the announcer predicting relay times, correctly. So disappointed. NBC obviously didn't give any thought to triathlon, and didn't care.


Grrr
