Favourites:
Chris Howarth with Nicky Slater, also with Simon Reed. Also I have no issues with Simon on his own.
Kevin Reynolds! Lovely voice and relaxed style!
Megan Duhamel - when she doesn't sound like she has a cold.
Debbie Wilkes is OK too. I noticed that she and Megan were silent during the performances, same as Kevin.
Mark Hanretty - excellent.
Non-favourites:
Catherine Whitaker - dreadful! She knows nothing. She once pointed out that Medvedeva was 'leaving it very late in the programme for her jumps'. It's called 'back-loading' dear, learn your terminology!
Joanne Conway - despite being an ex-skater, she seemed incapable of appreciating good ice dance. She didn't like Pechelat/Bourzat's Petit Prince, which is astoundingly good.
Paul Asler, or whatever his surname is. Embarrassingly bad style and not knowledgeable. Very annoying! Was glad I actually WENT to Euros 2020 so only suffered his commentary watching recordings.
OK:
Belinda Noonan. Although she knows her stuff, she tended to point out nearly every element during the programmes, which was ridiculous. Luckily I had a button which I press to mute the commentary during 2018 Winter Olys, so I could choose just to listen before and after the performances.
Robin Cousins
Christopher Dean - I think he only commentated during 1992 Olys but he was quite good.
I haven't heard any of the US commentators.
