Funny Stuff from Oplympics' Commentators

My earlier report on Olympics London 2012

Did they really say that???????

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Olympics that they would like to take back:

.....
1. Weight-lifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'
......
2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

.....
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
.....
4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'
......
5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'
......
6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'
......
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'
.....
8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'
.....
9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'

Olympics In London

It was a very nice experience we all in UK had during the Olympics time. One timeonly ticket for me as I am getting older now and cannot envisage another Olympics in this country. There was only one little incident the media tried to put it down as one of those things. Yeah but it did happen. The finals of the 100m race. The finalists were all lined up and all set to go....In the silence an empty bottle was thrown right behind the athletes.Luckily no one heard it except the USA own man Gatlin the bronze winner. But he never thought about it. This is the photo of the incident.

Bottle shown with the black arrow in lane 5

In BBC or any UK news of the action where the person was arrested was not shown. But on sky news I saw it, which I did not record. I am not sure whether the person in a white top sitting behind the athletes, threw the bottle. But in my memory it looked like him on Sky News. Check it.

White arrow?
