You are so right! (wheeee, Kostomarov is dating Dominina? That's cool! :yesThe Eurosport guys. They are the only ones who stay quiet when the skaters are actually skating and they are entertaining. Other commentators talk so much that you can barely hear the skaters' music. These guys need to teach Hamilton and Button a lesson about proper commentating. Whenever I here Button, Wynne, Bezic, Hamilton, Wilson or any of the other ones I end up screaming shut up at the tv more than watching the actual skating.
They talk so much it distracts me and the fact that Oksana Dominina is dating former Olympic Champion Roman Kostomarov is not something I really want to hear during a D/S program, I want to here their music and not the commentators voices and D/S's life story
(wheeee, Kostomarov is dating Dominina? That's cool! :yes
They have been dating for several years

Have you listened to the Chris-Howard-interview on manleywoman's podcast? He really explains a lot about the commentary, says that there are just different styles (e.g. the Germans speak even less during the programs) etc. It's really interesting to listen to!
Not sure about Simon, but Chris is a former figure skater who now works as a coach and in other capacities related to skating. He knows what he's talking about and understands the scoring system pretty well.I don't have a clue who Simon Reed and Chris Howarth are nor their credentials in the figure skating world
He is also biased, overly opinionated and close to populistic in his approach.Kurt just goes without saying, not only is he a World Champion and knows his stuff, he is also entertaining.
