Generally speaking, the problem with some of the TV commentators is they often don't read the research, don't know the rules, depend too much on the element sheets, and don't watch the practices.
Listen to any broadcast with Peggy Fleming and you will hear over and over comments from her about what she saw in practice.
Further, there are broadcast teams considered better than USA teams, but why is it we hear "oh, he is the Dick Button of my country."
Sorry, other countries don't have a two time OGM winner who revolutionized the sport with 40 plus years broadcasting experience.
Like Plushy, most other countries want to be like Dick Button. But they can't because he occupies a unique position in figure skating history. One that Kurt or Plushy can't touch.
