Thursday
Nathan Chen won Figure Skating Gold for the USA!!
Fortunately, I was able to see his winning program.
Unfortunately, there was a female narrator who was instructed, clearly, to narrate every movement of the skater, arm, hand, body, facial expressions(!) and of course the jumps. It was all beyond the pale; one couldn’t watch and listen and enjoy the skate. We had to turn the volume off and just watch the skater with no music. I don’t know what someone was thinking. The only thing I can imagine is that they were trying to avoid Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir. They aren’t narrators, they are excellent commentators, and have been good for many years. Perhaps we’ll never know.
Coming up are the ice dancers and how can we watch that without sound? Ayeayeaye……
