That’s my last gymnastics broadcast for another year. Thank you, gymnastics fans, for your kind company this year in the acrobatic, artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline competitions that I’ve covered. For being supportive and helpful, and for continuing to teach me so much, I’m so very grateful.

It means so much to me when gymnastics parents reach out because I’ve said something on air that they felt did justice to their child. I love researching athletes and trying to tell their stories. The clear issue here is that I don’t have the necessary scientific vocabulary to explain James’ life 😂!
@ollyhogben.bsky.social really does his homework on gymnastics. Here he is, commentating for Australian James Hardy at University Games, July 2025.
Thanks Olly, we love you!

I really enjoy commentating archery; I've been lucky enough to cover it at two editions of the Olympics and Paralympics, and like being part of the regular season when I get the chance. I'll be commentating both days of finals at the Swiss Open this weekend, starting in 15 mins!
