Top presenters?

[Mooserp]

Who have been your favourites?

For me it's been...

Presenter :
Claire Balding

Pundits:
Lutalo
MJ
Chris Hoy

Commentators:
Andy and Adrian (swimming)

Definitely Lutalo, he's got 'presence', a fantastic calm demeanour and an incredible voice. They should use him more.

I've enjoyed the swimming team of Andy and Adrian too.

I also like Chris Boardman commentating on the cycling, he's so vastly knowledgeable. Plus Jill Douglas, who's done some great interviews in the velodrome and elsewhere.

Claire Balding and Andrew Cotter

Claire Balding & Hazel Irving are quality.

Also love Lutalo, Michael Johnson & Jess Ennis Hill.

Claire and Hazel are brilliant - knowledgeable, professional, funny and do not make everything about them. I've felt so sorry for Claire having to co-present with Alex this time - the complete opposite of everything that Claire is.

Lutalo was lovely - great at explaining something that I knew nothing about so that it was clear.

I'm not normally keen on Beth Tweddle but she seemed much more relaxed this time.

Chris Hoy is great.

Love Hazel's voice. And Andrew Cotter. I'm a fan of Scottish accents!
And Hazel looks so lovely every day, despite the unsociable hours.

Oooo good question

Love Alex Scott presenting. She is much more the age and style of the actual competitors and their training friends who will be watching. She’s a breath of fresh air. They could do with better scripts though!

Also Jess Ennis Hill - so calm and thoughtful.

Michael Johnson - wonderful pundit.

Ive been really impressed generally with the presenters, commentators and pundits.

Favourites have been (in no order):
Chris Hoy and Chris Boardman
Lutalo Muhammad
Adrian Moorhouse
Michael Johnson, Jess Ennis Hill and Denise Lewis
Beth Tweddle would be my friend if I knew her!

I’m sure I’ve forgotten some. The only ones I haven’t enjoyed were Matt baker and the other guy in the gymnastics who basically kept yelling all the time.

Yes, Craig Heap at the gymnastics was rather....er, excitable

Christine Still is the other gymnastics commentator, I believe - DH and I just know her as 'EXCELLENT WORK!' as that's the phrase she utters with great regularity

I agree with the love for Lutalo! Katherine Grainger was another pundit I liked.

Lutalo Muhammad was excellent, I know absolutely nothing about Taekwondo but his explanations were so clear I really enjoyed watching the competitions. Also his kind and insightful observations when competitors had lost, he seemed to know exactly what to say.
Christine Still in the gymnastics.
Michael Johnson
Claire Balding
Hazel Irvine
Also enjoying listening to Samantha Murray (modern pentathlon pundit) as it's another event I know nothing about
Andy & Adrian on swimming commentary
Andrew Cotter

Most people won't know who I mean but for anyone in Ireland I want to mention Greg Allen and Dave Matthews who do the Olympics athletics commentary on RTÉ 2 because they're so good!

I have no idea what Christine looks like but I picture her like one of my old, strict teachers

This! She scares me

I'd forgotten about Beth Tweddle and Chris Hoy - both ace!

Sadly disagree about Alex Scott and Dan Walker - never seem to have a clue what they're talking about!

Hazel Irvine tops the sports presenters for me, by a mile. She is top class.

Lutalo Muhammad is wonderful, he could talk about anything and I'd listen.

Clare Balding of course!

Most of the pundits have been excellent, but I think my favourite is Molly Thompson-Smith on the climbing.

Not a fan of Alex Scott. She seems like a very nice person, but her presenting style is awkward.

I think Michael Johnson is the best pundit out there, not just in the Olympics, but in all the sports I watch on TV - he is so knowledge, honest, balanced and insightful.

I like Clare B and also Gabby. And I love Andrew Cotter's commentary. It's a good job it's nearly over - he's losing his voice!

Hazel Irvine
Gabby Logan

Chris Hoy is just lovely.
Chris Boardman impresses me more as time goes on.

Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson (he's my all time favourite tbh) on the athletics.

The young guy from taekwondo was a great natural on TV! Though I didn't really watch his sport so didn't see much of him.

Claire Balding
Hazel Irvine
Chris Hoy
Michael Johnson

All class acts.

Jessica Ennis does have a calm aura.

And yes the gymnastics commentator always says "excellent work"!

I like all of them! I think BBC have smashed it out the park with this line up. It’s diverse and I think everyone has been knowledgeable and likeable.

I really like Sam Quek in the morning.

I like the gymnastics lady, Christine. I can see her as being a strict but encouraging coach - she is always very positive about a gymnast who does something well, wherever they are from, and has lots of good things to say. She explains why something has gone wrong - someone is too far back or came out of the spin too early or had their legs a bit separate or whatever, so that it makes sense what the judges then give them. I think she's been presenting gymnastics for decades, as her voice is so familiar!

Michael Johnson love him.
Dan Walker.
Clare Balding.
