Firstly, top effort from the BBC for putting on around 20 extra channels, if you have Sky/Virgin etc etc, you can watch pretty much all the events live however obscure the sport.
However, the quality of presenting and interviewing is awful.
Virtually no specialist presenters relative to a particular sport….the F1 guy trying to do different sports earlier was painful….this morning’s BBC1 anchor presented as though she’s been poached from CBeebies, all street talk and hand gestures….christ knows how anybody over 40 was supposed to understand her.
The interviews are horrific, the interviewers seemingly pushing for tears from the sportsmen and women with absolutely no subtlety….the judo guy this morning was in bits, nothing more needed to be said and yet the crass idiot with the mic asked him how he felt having let down those around him!….one of the horsey women lost her dad earlier in the year….you guessed it, the imbecile from the BBC asked how she felt losing her dad this year!….how do you think she felt you dribbling idiot!?
Cavendish got it spot on when he asked if the person firing questions at him knew anything about cycling.
Great coverage, poor presenters.
