Sometimes, the best part about the Olympics isn’t the events or the athletes themselves, but the commentary…

Weightlifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”

Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”

Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”

Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries,and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”

Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”

Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”

At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”

Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”

Tennis commentator: “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them…Oh my God, what have I just said?”
