to be fair, it's a Russian tv station broadcasting to a Russia audience and not for international consumption, so they nave no need to sound impartial and are simply cheering the home team... something you won't see in the American L$M

As the young Olympic gymnast competed in the all-arounds, the TV announcer said: "She messed up really well. This is so good, she got another deduction of points."
Not the type of attitude you'd normally expect from a TV sports commentator. Unless the announcer is Russian, and the athlete is an American.
Before Russian gymnast Viktoria Komova did her vault, Ivanova announced: "Vikochka (sweet Vicky), show these Americans how it should be done."
After Komova made mistakes in her routine, Ivanova remarked with: "She made a few mistakes, but we did not notice them."

Uhhh.....
Sounds like US media coverage of Obama.
‘Unless the announcer is Russian”
Taught by the Masters (MSM)
She got word that O’ is going tax any medal they win.
As if NBC announcers aren’t homers.

If Putin want my vote in 2016 (assuming Hillary vs NJFatboy) then they need to play nice....
Homers or homos?
NBC cheers, but only for the “right” people.
Yes.
Reminds me of the Chinese Dodgeball announcers on South Park.

Gymnastics is not an event at the Winter Olympics. This CNBC report is talking about what Russian announcers say to their own audience during all Olympic broadcasts. I wonder if CNBC has ever done a piece on what their sister network, MSNBC announcers say to their own audience?
LOLOL... ABSOLUTELY 100%!!!
Sorry, but any sport that relies on judgment is not a sport. Boxing should be the last man standing to be a sport to me. I guess figure skating or gymnastics will never be a sport in my book unless..........................
The one sport I really enjoyed watching yesterday was the Biathlon....Skiing and Shooting.
So why is this a surprise? Why is this news?
What were they using for targets? Pictures of...
Oh, forget it.
This really happened. It's one of the funniest things ever!
