Busy weekend of gymnastics commentary coming up! I'll be doing Day 1 of finals for Osijek 🇭🇷 tomorrow, before handing over to Danusia Francis to take you through Sunday. Meanwhile, I'll be alongside @blythelawrence.bsky.social for the European Trampoline Champs. Looking forward to both events!

Last day in Cairo and I’m so touched to receive these lovely gifts from the local team here in Egypt 🇪🇬.
I don’t get to do many World Cups on site as they’re such short events. This is the only one I regularly do in the venue and I just love it.
Live in 15 on Eurovision Sport! Join me if you can!

Thanks for being so gentle and generous with your words when I don't deserve it 😔
I'm so sorry about this appalling error. I am furious with myself, and ashamed of my work. I know it's silly to say, but I didn't even look at his face until the end of the routine, and I realised straight away - I had commentated him at the World University Games last year in Germany. Dreadful.
Live from Cairo for artistic gymnastics World Cup action now!
Join me now on Eurovision Sport, if you can (depending on broadcasting rights in your area), for all of the action from the first Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup of 2026!
Really looking forward to your company!

One final AFC Champions League Round of 16 tie for me today, as I commentate Vissel Kobe 🇯🇵 v FC Seoul 🇰🇷. I was fortunate enough to do the first leg a week ago, which was a 1-0 win for today's hosts. Let's see if FC Seoul can get back in the tie! Kick off at 10.00 GMT.

Fabulous 😂. This genuinely made me chuckle. Thank you!
Thank you for these lovely words! Yes, you’re utterly right. In fact, I got two dream jobs - teaching was my first and this is my second. Genuinely feel so lucky to have been able to do both. 🙂

Hello folks! Please do have a listen, if you haven’t already, to this interview I did with the excellent @GymNiceticsJoy. It’s definitely the most personal interview I’ve ever given; I talk about my life away from gymnastics as well as my beliefs about sports commebtary.

Hello gymnastics fans! The Baku World Cup is tomorrow, and it looks as though there's a new way to watch for a lot of fans in Europe (including, I think, the UK 🇬🇧).
I'm not involved in the distribution of these events, so please forgive me if I'm wrong!

I'm back behind the mic for gymnastics this weekend, covering the Baku World Cup (MAG/WAG)! Really looking forward to the first of 6 days of gymnastics World Cup commentary in March.
First of all, though, I've got a football match on Wednesday and 3 days of WTA commentary on Indian Wells.
That’s it from Milan 🇮🇹. I’m utterly frazzled. A wonderful Games commentating every session of figure skating, the Closing Ceremony, and eating a lot of splendid food in great weather. Thank you @belindanoonan.bsky.social, @blythelawrence.bsky.social and Lisa O’Sullivan - loved working with you all!
One last figure skating commentary coming up here in Milan! Join me and Belinda if you can for the Exhibition Gala in 20 minutes!
