basically they kept laughing at pronunciations of countries and names. they laughed at Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarakoon (thai gold medallist, hence famous) and said something like "oh i'm glad this other woman did shitty and didn't make it here or we'd have to try to say her name!! :D :D"

Also while they talked about the achievements by athletes in countries like GB or US (white ppl basically), they had nothing to say about some, worst yet many countries were reduced to "THEY ARE POOR" "THIS COUNTRY IS KNOWN FOR GENOCIDE/FAMINE" - well that's fine if they mentioned England's colonial history but ofc they didn't.

lol look at this essay i've typed. i was actually very upset then bc of that and sort of ended up hating it bc everyone was like IT WAS SO AWESOME and ignored how awful they were being.

wow so glad i didn't have the bbc commentators bc wtf ://////

and isn't it kind of their job to be able to pronounce athlete's names regardless of where they're from? sjfhdjfhjdhf
