Announcers at the Olympics

If anyone has any pull with NBC could you get them to get someone who knows technique to be part of the show.At the 1972 Games they showed an ultra-slowmotion clip of Spitz's butterfly & it was great & educational. I think they should keep Rowdy as he knows the swimmers but he needs to leave the stroke discussion to someone else. (I.E.In the women's 200 *** Amanda Beard was killing the field with her amazing kick & he said her pull was the strongest.)I suggest Mike Collins. He is one of the most knowlegible people I have heard.(they should get Wayne for the Breaststroke of course.)

    don't know anyone at NBC, but would really like to have a technically proficient announcer. Have to hit the mute button whenever Rowdy Gaines talks, the screeching is just too much. NBC should take a look at the OLN coverage of cycling events, Phil, Paul,and Bob make watching a lesson in bicycle racing with no hysteria.
