I cannot praise highly enough the Olympic games coverage provided by the BBC Radio 5Live commentary teams.The correspondents, their French counterparts, the ex-Olympians and studio co-ordinators were superb throughout, giving us all the events as they happened with knowledge, informed opinion, history, enthusiasm and humour, with some good-natured banter and joshing thrown in - simply excellent. I’ve always preferred radio to TV for live events - the visual image descriptions from radio voices far outweigh the TV pics which demand all your attention, though they do have their moments. But radio can zip between different sports and venues in the blink of an eye unlike TV which had some restrictions. Congrats to all the folks who put this radio-wave marathon (intended) together. You did us proud, as did the Olympians themselves. Well worth the licence-fee, thank you!
