Fail. They picked the wrong guy to produce it, and it is a bad joke, especially compared to the Beijing games. Doyle is a great director, but his work is all about intricate narrative, not visual spectacle and that as a vehicle for story telling.
He's no Zhang Yimou...
There is a broader issue with all the "up close and personal" crap. There is plenty of drama in the competition. It does not need to be created through hyped narrative and talking heads. I hate it when sport becomes about personality, especially the person behind the mic.
