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.

"Doyle" may be a great director, but I think that Danny Boyle produced the opening ceremonies for the London Olympics.
And no one has ever heard of Zang Zimmo.
