I don't like picking holes in things, honestly, but is anyone else a bit let down by the presentation skills of Claire Balding and co on the Channel 4?

Nah.
She's much better than Gary Lineker and the team are well informed and enthusiastic.

Presenters are OK, there's just too much of them, which eats into the sport they can show. Also, pick one channel and stick with it! Why keep swapping between 4 and More4??

I think it's been rather good. Iwan Thomas has been excellent, I might add.

Presenters are good, like the less polished, more enthusiastic real people enjoying their job. Wish they would scrap E4+1 for another channel as don't have satellite and the web page won't play on the Iplayer and the channel 4 app doesn't have huge coverage. Otherwise liking it, can even cope with the adverts bar that go compare one.

Enjoying it. Less of that smug & insincere Gary Lineker is great.

I have missed a lot of it, but in the bits I saw the one guy didn't realise that when the anchor asks you a question you reply to THEM not the camera. He must've been told a lot, but he kept doing it. Annoying.

And some of the presenters were embarassingly green. Hey, you've done a bit of para sport, stand there and talk about the race you just saw.

She's alright but it's annoying that she keeps butting in before the others have finished speaking!

She does scrub up well, but hardly "hot". Each to their own eh?

She is useless.
Who is she anyway? Apart form being the bod that did that rather half finished telly prog about Briercliffe. I reckon commentators should know their sport. Apparently she isn't Sandy Tostig whoever she is either.
