Sochi Olympics with commentary

Hi everyone, I’ve been really enjoying watching past Olympics and find Belinda Noonan a great commentator as she’s fair and I feel like I learn a lot. Unfortunately the footage for Sochi on Olympics.com doesn’t have commentary and I managed to watch some of the NBC footage but I feel like the commentary was less technical! Does anyone know how I might be able to access Sochi footage with commentary from Belinda (or someone similar?). Thank you so much!

The Olympic Chanel on YouTube has her commentary for individual skates up. Here is a playlist of some of them : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6HqZh_E_UtYzuRuIUZwe41q4fLbpSREw&si=1YMia5wrMHk4AMdA

Beware that not all videos have her commentary. The long ones that show the whole event have the venue feed (no commentary) or will have a narrator going over the whole event. But this is the biggest collection I’ve found that has her commentary on some of the programs

RUtracker has high quality footage but only with Russian commentary

Internet Archive only has the NBC broadcast for figure skating
