I have a vague recollection of Gumbel hosting the Olympic coverage during the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

Yup. He was trying and failing to be funny during the opening ceremonies, when he should have just STFU. It's the day I decided to dislike him. Haven't regretted that decision since, nor had reason to revise it.

they're specialists, not overall world's greatest athletes.If Einstein was a lousy at writing sonnets, does that mean he's stupid?
Put Kobe Bryant on skates and tell me how great a hockey player he is.
Put Jordan in baseball cleats, oh wait, already did that.
