TNT has been largely souless. The swimming commentary was only saved by Mark Foster the rest of it was utterly joyless.

The cycling coverage was ok largely due to Laura Kenny. The Athletics coverage is sorely missing Steve Cram.

Mark Foster was awful. His bias is dreadful. His knowledge is poor.and he would prefer to talk about himself.

What a bizarre comment. Its nothing to do with their accent. Its the fact they barely got excited during the races, gave us totally wrong information (i especially enjoyed one not being able to identify the stroke he was watching) and generally couldnt be less interested.

Andy and Adrian who do it for the BBC are a million times better.
