Olympic News Blunders

Wed Aug 29, 2012 8:52 pm

Found this on another forum and it made me laugh! :lol:

Olympic News

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

1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava 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?"

Funny, but either apocryphal or adapted from other sources. I've seen a lot of them over the years (the Andy Murray one started life as an Arnold Palmer one). I recognise the provenance of one of them: it was actually Harry Carpenter after the 1977 Boat Race who said: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is kissing the cox of the Oxford crew."

I have to say I love watching rowing: there is no finer sight in the world than eight strong men pulling in unison with their cox.

Some others seem to be nicked/adapted from:

I don't think there's a thing here that wasn't from waaaaay before this summer's Olympic™ Games. This, however, was.

This man should be on radio more.
