I watched most of the Olympics equestrian coverage using the world feed in the Peacock app. Lucinda Green and John Kyle did a really job – their commentary was educational and interesting, and they didn’t jabber on mindlessly to fill every second of silence. When they spoke, it was with purpose.
The highlights, and one of the show jumping events was from the E! feed (why equestrian is on E! other than “E” being in the word “equestrian” is beyond me). It was a shocking contrast.
Gone were those kindly and dulcet Britsh voices with their informative and calm insights into the happenings. In their place was the usual American commentary style of “gotta fill in every moment of airtime with talking no matter how banal”.
