What Do I Think About the NBC Trio?

  So, we all know the infamous NBC Gymnastics Commentating Trio RIGHT? Consisting of Tim Dagget, once great male gymnast, Elfi Schlagel, Canadian National Gymnast, and Al Trautwig.... Actually, I have no clue who Al was until I first listened to NBC Commentating. Here are some pros and cons, and then what I think about each individual member of NBC Gymnastics Commentating


Pros:

• They offer insightful thoughts about gymnastics
• They don't have annoying English Accents

Cons:

• They do not offer enough coverage, the 2012 team finals come to mind, they only focused on the top four teams, but didn't offer enough coverage for the bottom four teams, like Italy, or even the hosts of the Games, team GB. Unlike the Olympic Commentators who flip-flop between the teams
• I find them extremely critical, unlike BBC, they don't highlight the good parts of a routine, only the bad. While BBC says stuff like "Wow, that form was amazing",  NBC says "That landing was a little bit sloppy 
• NEGATIVE

Tim Dagget: With Tim Dagget being a former gymnast, as well as a coach, commentating is his element, or so he thinks. Sometimes he can be good, but sometimes he can be slightly annoying, make that hugely annoying. 

Elfi Schagel: Elfi was in gymnastics in the olden days, those days where gymnastics was artistry rather than power, when a gymnast could hit their legs on the bars and receive no deductions. So in other words she's an ancient gymnast

Al Trautwig: He knows squat about gymnastics

    So, I had more criticism in the personal section, but all in all, NBC is an ok commentating channel.
