Post your ridiculous Olympic commentary examples here. Today, I have heard

"none of them want to finish outside the top three"

And

"That must be a new PB for her [swimmer], she looks out of breath though".

Ooh, one from the 3x3 basketball yesterday:

"They've only been playing for two minutes, but they are tireless"

"He has to be very explosive now" - presumably to differentiate from slightly explosive.

Not exactly daft, but it made me chuckle this morning:

Yes yes yes yes yes… yyeeesss
That’s it… that is it
That is untouchable
That is it, that is it
That’s it, that’s it, that’s Olympic Gold, that’s Olympic Gold
That is Olympic Gold
Oh my goodness me

Congratulations on finally getting the Gold, Tom!

From the taekwondo yesterday - in response to the effects mic picking up a coach telling his charge 'Don't look at the scoreboards'

Commentator - 'That's right, the scoreboard can't kick you in the head' (or very similar)

Men's Triathlon. Commentator kept saying "he's got it now, not looking over his shoulder" and each time the Norwegian feller looked over his shoulder to check where our guy was! 🤣
