Watching the men's canoe sprints.

The Kiwi commentator obviously doesn't know that STP stands for Sao Tome and Principe. Looooong pause before just referring to them as STP again

They've dusted the cobwebs off John McBeth. The expert commentator is Ben Fouhy.

Really nice bloke, had a beer with him at a function many, many years ago. He must be over 100 years old by now though.

Nyika isn’t going to go easily

Nyika still looks like he could slip one through though

He was also the vastly better boxer. Nyika looked like he cement shoes in comparison and couldn't throw a straight right.
