WOMENS GYMNASTICS COMMENTATORS

I've managed to miss the names of the man and woman doing the commentary. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

@Love my grandkids I thought the same thing so I googled it. I guess I wasn't that impressed because I can't remember. Woman Very Happy

I haven't watched the Olympics but just did a quick search.  Laurie Hernandez, Samantha Peszek, Tim Daggett, Justin Spring,  and Rich Lerner.  Also Terry Gannon

@lavenderfields Thanks. Maybe someone knows who the female was. I found her so annoying at times with some of her silly comments I had to mute the sound and use CC.

Laurie Hernandez and Tim Daggett are former, computers for team USA.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

@Love my grandkids I'd be curious to know what you thought were silly comments.  I watched for a long time and can't remember silliness.  She did point out lots of the small misses that lead to a point deduction, but I believe that's what she's hired to do.   

So pleased for the USA women.

Laurie Hernandez provides great commentary and insight,  knowing the competitors personally and having competed in the Olympics and international meets herself.  She knows the details of routines, Olympic rules and scoring.

 

Great choice to put her on the broadcast roster.  I find her insights to be invaluable.

@millieshops @THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes and others. I was having a cranky crabby morning whie watching it. I had recorded some and went back to watch and listen. She really was excellent. It was just my mood. Sigh. Thanks for the comments, appreciate them.
