The Art of Commentary
BBC sports commentator talking bollocks about the past successes of French canoeist Tony Estanguet:
“Nobody has ever won two Olympic gold medals in C1 slalom canoeing – but this man has.”
[He didn't get his third Gold medal this year, as many people thought. Michal Martikan won Gold for Slovakia, with David Florence getting Silver for Great Britain.]
UPDATE: Why this sudden interest in sport? I hear you cry. Well, I spent many years canoeing.
JC paddling K1, on the River Lune at Sedbergh I think
