I would imagine many viewers have no idea who Cram is and his history...perhaps believing that he is simply a Curling commentator. This is Cram’s 4th Winter Olympics as a curling commentator - he’s pretty knowledgeable. Before Cram it was Dougie Donnelly who was also pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Cram has definitely improved. Initially he would tell Jackie Lockhart what he thought they should be doing, only for her to constantly correct him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise Cram has commentated on athletics for the BBC for years, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 That’s a good win against one of the gold medal favourites to try and move on from the disappointing loss to Switzerland. Like I’d said yesterday you’d take 1-1 from the first two. Tomorrow’s actions sees the men take on USA (1am GMT) and Norway (12pm GMT) whilst the women play South Korea (6am GMT) Hoping for 3 wins tomorrow but all tricky games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course I do. I am saying that he is a really good Curling presenter.....i would imagine most athletics fans would have no idea that he has such an interest and knowledge of curling - very diverse sports and well done to him I say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Just the one game for the women in the curling tomorrow as they take on South Korea at 6.05 amDouble dunt for the men with the USA at 1.05 am and Norway at lunchtime.One of the things they were talking about on commentary through the night was that the practice time available is vastly reduced from previous games. Partly down to athletes having to be in the country quite early to comply with Covid testing etc, but mainly down to the mixed pairs being on. Some curlers had hardly thrown a stone for a week before starting today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly tarnished now Yeah I saw her the other day and the commentator on Eurosport was already proclaiming her as the best female skater in history at 15 years old. Whatever the outcome she'll have this hanging over her for the rest of her career now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Mouat lost to USA overnight. Muirhead just started against Korea and they get out of jail in the second end. A poor last stone from Eve leaves the Korean skip a fairly simple takeout for 3, but Kim EunJung makes a mistake and it’s a steal of 1 for GB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Let’s not panic about the female curlers yet. Probably need to win 5 of the next 6 those because tiebreakers aren’t looking great. Men could do with a win against Norway at lunchtime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Charlotte Bankes is in the snowboard cross relay. Not sure if the bloke is any good and we have any chance of a medal? Hope so as it sounds fun so would worry BBC wouldn't show it if we don't have a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
