channel 7 have treated the olympics as a promotional exercise. sonia kruger knows nothing about sport, but is going to be cohosting a show once the games are finished. same goes for their other 'commentators'.

i am starting to get sick of those hybrid promos/highlights montages for all of channel 7's upcoming shows like dancing with the stars, ugly betty, etc. mixed in with highlights and medal ceremonies from the games. the worst thing is they still find lame music to play and captions actually relating these olympic moments to moments from lame tv shows.

I think Sonia's very qualified to commentate. She studied B Arts at UTS

BMX is funny. its kinda boring to me though. i like it when they have the side view and you see them jump smoothly then they're little legs pedal like crazy, then its all smooth again.
