The commentary team

Seven have employed Hamish McLachlan, Edwina Bartholomew, Mel McLaughlin and Jason Richardson as the anchors for the coverage with Mark Berretta, Tom Williams, Rachael Finch and Emma Davenport for, in the words of the press release, ‘colour and characters’. They also have Basil Zempilas (he called the Steven Bradbury event in Salt Lake City in 2002) and a number of summer Olympics and sports journalists.

Winter sports enthusiasts will be pleased to know there are a handful of specific snow sports experts in the mix including former winter Olympians Jacqui Cooper, Steph Prem, Katya Crema to offer some expert commentary.

An all-male lineup will anchor the front bar with Mick Molloy, Sam Pang and Andy Maher taking a humorous look at all things Winter Olympics, though we’re hoping they may invite some female guests. The Front Bar airs on February 8 at 9pm on 7, February 16 at 8.30pm on 7 and Saturday February 24.
