Props to Simon for defending the silver by powering through the pain. Not many would have been able to.

[timothemichel]

Where are Patrick Winterton and Mike Dixon? I love them so much. They are amazing commentators.

[ВикторПавлов-ту]

Спорт, это то лучшее, что придумало человечество 😊😊😊

On my feed if you click Settings-Audio-International you get crowd (what little there is) noise only. It's an improvement over the US announcers.

[Golovachtobydumat]

Veldig interessant løp, bare litt snø.

[PetetheCanuck]

Great race but OMG bring back Patrick and Mike.. these commentators are not it.

[Flying-Roro]

Stop spoiling the results in the thumbnail please...

[Mykhailo_Dumych]

2:30 Even Ukrainian commentator Andriy Stolyarchuk reacted more emotionally to this than those behind the scenes.

[ghestro]

No problem for Sweden on the last lap, no one can defeat Elvira Öberg in that situation except.. Hanna Öberg!! I mean, she´s the only one I have seen to defeat Elvira in a sprint finish..

[Nerdcrusher]

God, these commentators are horrible.

[OldSchoolQ]

No Patrick/Mike...no watch...Americans commentating of Biathlon....please....very very poor decision. Back to Eurosport. P.s Id even prefer to have Ian commentating and that is saying something.
