Scottish Announcer?

They have a strong Greco tradition.

 

Does anyone know who it is?

[Gantry 1,604]

Don't know but he's been doing it for awhile.  Done freestyle as well...

I really don't like him at all. Was at 2014 world championships as well with the French commentator, I ended up muting them.

Uh, that was a joke about Scottish Greco tradition.

 

His biggest contribution seemed to be about making sure the mat was dry.

If you are watching on the NBC stream there is a feature to turn off commentsry, but keep the background noise.

Scotland is a greco powerhouse! Good for soccer announcing NOT wrestling!

He's MUCH better than the English guy from last Olympics.

Whatever happened to Goudarzi? He seemed to disappear after the 2013 World Cup, when he was just shy of 26-years-old.

I heard he got injured and retired, but I don't really know if that's how things went. Dude was great on the mat and always a class act.

Actually he lives in North Korea now. He is also a bff of Yang. They own a scooter rental shop in Pyongyang and are hoping to diversify it into a ridesharing business.

I think it was a car accident but I could be completely wrong. As for the scottish guy i think he is kind of funny. He makes no worth while contributions but he has an entertainment value, kind of fun listening to him, would def prefer john smith but I have heard much worse, ill take it.

Or Ken Chertow, so we can hear about who on the U.S. teams and other teams attended his camps.

That's a good one, but Rulon takes the cake when it comes to crappy commentary. I think he is someone Bader tries to emulate.

Now on TV they have some guy with a southwestern draw announcing the matches who is acting like he knows what he's talking about. :)

So far... John Smith is a winner at every Olympics in which he participates.

[gimpeltf 1,474]

I liked the match where he said something along the lines of - She hasn't make a discernible attempt at an aggressive maneuver for the entire interval.

I think he referred to a move at the 2012 games as "pile driver."

Maybe this team announces another sport as well in the first 7 days?  That's the only excuse I can think of for them being so bad...Other than IOC incompetence, which may be the correct assumption based off of Occam's Razor.
