Bloopers...Of Olympic Preportions
Do the "sports reporters ' for CTV have any training what so ever
Apart from not being able to correctly pronounce any name other than an english sounding one, even the french names they cant be bothered to learn
Here are some of the commentary bloopers i have heard thus far
"The Swiss Ski jumper Simon Amman wins gold for Austria"
" Here at the Calgary Ice Rink "
" This is a unique thing that they do, only about 20 others have done this "

Re: Bloopers...Of Olympic Preportions
This one actually makes a lot of sense. He may be Swiss-born, but qualified for Austria's team also (maybe dual citizenship). There are two brothers competing in the Olympics this year for two different countries.
Actually, I think you must have misheard - Austria didn't win the gold, Switzerland did.
