I wish Basil was commentating, so he could tell us that the Aussie girls had a good start as soon as the gun went.

Mate that's brilliant haha!!

Anyone got the stop watch going for;

Read a story online that he was studying furiously in the lead up to the olympics - he has a genuine passion for athletics and it shows in his preparation

His football commentary has turned into self parody but at the olympucs he's been first class

This is a good read

Bruce is aware of the importance of the 100m and the role his call plays in it so he thinks about it and prepares for that moment so he gets it right

Basil looks at a list of names and wonders how to pronounce them

Good article, he definitely knows how to breakdown a race and pick up on crucial moments.

Basil just tells us the start is good and the Australian swimmer looks comfortable
