TV sports commentator covering the Olympics, Paralympics, and other multi-sport games. Have commentated 86 sports, but best known for gymnastics, football, racket sports, and floorball.
A week until I depart for my 9th Games for Olympic Broadcasting Services, and my third-consecutive Winter Olympics. I am overjoyed to be heading to Milano Cortina to once again commentate all of the figure skating with my great friend, the incomparable @belindanoonan.bsky.social. I’m so excited!

It means so much to me when gymnastics parents reach out because I’ve said something on air that they felt did justice to their child. I love researching athletes and trying to tell their stories. The clear issue here is that I don’t have the necessary scientific vocabulary to explain James’ life 😂!
@ollyhogben.bsky.social really does his homework on gymnastics. Here he is, commentating for Australian James Hardy at University Games, July 2025.
Thanks Olly, we love you!

I really enjoy commentating archery; I've been lucky enough to cover it at two editions of the Olympics and Paralympics, and like being part of the regular season when I get the chance. I'll be commentating both days of finals at the Swiss Open this weekend, starting in 15 mins!
