Was Mel outside earlier? I do remember seeing her before Edwina came on but canât remember if she was inside or outside.
No, Mel has always been inside hosting. She is outside when presenting sport in Sydneyâs news thoughâŚ
It is still an hour show in WA at least, probably because the snowboard cross final will be over by then.
By the way, well done Jarryd Hughes on his silver medal in the final!!! Still, I canât help but feel a little disappointed that again we didnât walk away with gold, even having 2 Aussies in the final.
Cheers.
Maybe the sun hadnât quite poked its head up enough for Mel given she does 9am-1pm ish Korean time?
Jacqui Cooper working overtime commentating the Womenâs Aerials. Basil Zempilas is practically useless. His commentary pretty much has consisted of describing the bloody obvious on the landings.
UmâŚ
Jacqui Cooper: âSheâs Chinese, they all look the same.â
No we donât.
I wouldnât have believed anyone said that, butâŚ
and to think that I was going to complain that the worst thing about the coverage was poor event scheduling.
Christ.
To be fair, I think she was referring to the style of the individual Chinese athletes.
Maybe so, but it was very badly worded.
Oh dear Jacqui
Yes, but the social media age has created the perpetually offended, hanging on every utterance to become offended by.
Statement which has since been deleted.
And Jacquiâs tweet.
People that know nothing about Aerials will say she was being racist.
Revised program for today Friday 16 February.
- Danielle Scott and Laura Peel seek gold in womenâs aerials
- Belle Brockhoffâs fairytale comeback from injury in Snowboard Cross
This behind-the-scenes video of the interview Hamish did with Shaun White yesterday provides a full look of Sevenâs set
As expected, News Corp has picked it up
I captured this from that same video yesterday.
You can see on the host position monitor, the âLive & Freeâ (which if like the normal sport watermarks is attacted with the 7 / Olympics, comes from Seven).
So that is just like the tennis, coming from the production. Which makes sense, given they need to switch between âLive & Freeâ and âSportâ (delayed/recorded) regularly
