ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

Bryan Burnett meets sports broadcaster, Andrew Cotter who recently worked with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. One of the best-known voices in sports broadcasting, Andrew has commentated on rugby, athletics, tennis and golf. But which is his favourite? And could he commentate on any event? Bryan explores with Andrew what makes a classic sports commentary and how much preparation goes into a seemingly effortless afternoon's work. Andrew was one of the voices bringing us the sights and sounds of the Rio Olympic Opening and Closing ceremonies and reporting on events throughout the 2016 Olympic Games themselves. He talks about Rio and the sometimes unexpected challenges facing commentators today, particularly in sprinting events. In addition to enthusiasm and doing his research, listen in to find out why Andrew recommends reading be a part of any aspiring sports commentator's life. And he reveals why they should never drink coffee before a broadcast.
