I wouldn’t normally comment on the commentary for our events however the @eurosport coverage of the KX time trials needs to improve on their terminology. It’s the Olympic debut for such an amazing sport, it deserves more than calling the poles “sausages”

[Peter Linksted @peterlinksted]

@kim_woods_95 @eurosport Agreed Kim, sausages, “concrete blocks” and a complete lack of knowledge of the sport in general. Needs to be sorted to make the most of this new sport to get in the viewers it deserves. Sounded like some blokes having a chat down the pub.
