Cmon Penny

That was brutal! Worst call of all time on his fourth gold in a row in that race, fourth person ever to do it and that was the call lol
He's lucky he wasn't on US feed or that wasn't a Canadian, cmon Elliotte

 

[bustamente]

Both swimming guys are having a rough Olympics.

 

[wpgsilver]

Friedman almost blew it again... but PENNY WITH THE GOLD AND O.R.!

 

[meedle]

Wow, what a race. Gratz on the gold Penny

 

[wpgsilver]

Looks like Penny not only thought she didn't win, but was too disappointed to even look at the board.

He did blow it! Called her overholt

She always takes a breath before she looks back, but I think she saw the American celebrating hard and thought she had won, and it's a tie!

 

[puck stoppa]

Great two races, minus friedmen, he's worse than that guy that gets wheelers name wrong

 

[surixon]

Wow, what a race. Gratz on the gold Penny

This girls a machine! Congratulations on a phenomenal Olympics Penny!

 

[bustamente]

She's 16 years old and looks like she will have a great career ahead of her. The look she had when she turned around is pure Olympics.

 

[puck stoppa]

Instant Legend status! Such phelps like power to close races. She has it all going for year, great stuff!

 

[wpgsilver]

Handles a tough situation well.

So he should, two awful calls in the two biggest races of the olympics so far.

 

[meedle]

Her mom better get a PR person or something from all the attention she is going to get when she is back home.

What else can you do?

I didn't think the Penny call was all that bad. The graphic that he's looking at was far from clear with an OR beside one swimmer, and a 1 beside another.

Either way, I'm over it. Honest mistake, it happens.

Called her Emily overholt three times down the stretch. (She's a different Canadian swimmer) I miss ctv for olympics.

Yeah he had a rough night. Just watched the replay and they have already cleverly overdubbed his Overhart mistake. I don't think they can fix the Phelps Lochte race though.

Funny maybe he was actually thinking about Trouba negotiations earlier and had that name in his brain

 

[Repoman]

Is the replay on line somewhere? I find it extremely difficult to find replays of the events for some reason.

I feel for announcers when they make a mistake/mistakes. Everyone piles on, without really knowing how tough a job it is, myself included.
