Poor Sue's getting carried away with the occasion . . one of the biggest days of her broadcasting career, I suppose.


Apart from the 23.95m that watched Torvill and Dean at the Lillehammer Olympics. Sue presented much of the action from the arena that night.


Indeed she did . . . in the very early days of her BBC career. It was shortly after those Winter Olympics that she was offered the Sunday Grandstand gig, later that year.

EDIT: wow - first set Murray!

For me she is the consummate professional and in many ways the true successor to the great names of BBC Sport of old - Coleman, Bough, Lynam, Carpenter. The 'everyman' presenter that Paul Fox believed the BBC needed. She may be getting older but I really only see Claire Balding as being suited to fill that role in years to come.

+1.

I've said it before and I'll say it again . . . she should have got her usual big gig at the Olympics. Prime-time presenter, including anchoring the ceremonies and the athletics from the Olympic Stadium. Would have been a nice way to bow out if, as we are led to believe, she'll be scaling down over the next few years.

COME ON ANDY!!!

I'm watching on Abu Dhabi Sports. Late start, so don't know who the commentators are. We have an Englishman, an Irishman and a German.

Is that BBC feed? Who's commentating on the Beeb?

Totally agree. Can't understand this forums obsession (or rather one or two forumers in particular) with Inverdale. He's best suited to Radio in every way. Just doesn't have a warm tv manner. As for Hazel I'd be delighted if they ever got rid of her.

That is indeed the BBC feed: Boris Becker, Andrew Castle and Pat Cash commentating (Pat is Oz, not Irish) Wink
