This was so biased towards the chinese. He constantly says the chinese work so hard while the americans come back and score 7 points in a row in the first set. Then says the americans have so much luck on thier side...
Yeah, I read your comment as I was watching, and then the rally at 13:13 came up and he says, "The Americans are not gonna beat this," and then, when they do, he follows up with, "The Chinese did not deserve to lose that point."
I've watched a lot of women's beach volleyball, & hands-down, this is THE greatest match of all-time ! There was no way Team USA should have won this ----------but win they did, with sheer heart, & experience. KUDOS to both teams !! ------------------MJL, 77 y/o
The pendulum of luck? That's called the pendulum of fate my friend... They went in 2x DEFENDING Olympic Gold Medalists for a reason. They were destined to win this Gold medal, and worked as hard as anyone else to make it happen. GOAT.
Emma Reynolds He should’ve said that Zhang didn’t deserve to lose that point. She dug three driven balls in a row and then picked up Kerri’s shot. Xue, her younger partner picked a bad time to fake block and drop off.
Mayelin Martinez Everyone is commenting that but I don't see it. He was excited for both teams at different moments in the game. Sounds like someone who just genuinely loves beach volleyball.
Honestly the commentator wasn't as biased as the comment section making him out to be. The Chinese made incredible plays and he was just excited. He gave the Americans plenty of praise.
28:21 "One of those horrible points there." THE SERVE WAS A F*CKING AMAZING ACE?!! Also 29:14 was NOT an amazing dig. I'll give you that it was a nice try BUT IF IT WAS AMAZING THEY WOULD'VE REGAINED CONTROL
That is not an amazing serve. It is that disgusting I can't believe that went over kind of serve. I am sure the US player was thanking her lucky stars it sputtered over.
Oh my gosh this commentary was hilarious "if you though the birth and the life cycle of a tadpole turning into a frog was a miracle think again" He even threw in some lord of the ring references. During the beginning of the second match. Who is this guy?;and can he please do the commentary for every game I watch.
Awesome match. Horrible commentator. Many other events suffered the same bias and nonsense. Hopefully the brits wont host another Olympics any time soon
jtoddjb completely agree what nonsense and an unsportsmanlike commentator. saying the usas points were all from luck and the Chinese were the only players trying out there. He should really be fired.
Of course I pulled for Misty & Kerri during this, but Xue has, possibly, the best standing float serve I've ever seen. I've seen her give Misty trouble passing it in other matches as well and Misty is one of the best passers in the history of the game. That thing looks like it knuckles horribly.
Such a beautiful game it honestly should've been the final match misty and keri inspire me to be a better volleyball player even the chinese team such beautiful digs it's games like this that makes me proud to be a volleyball player
Kerri Welsh with Misty May 3 Gold Medals Kerri Walsh WITHOUT Misty May Bronze. Everytime Misty decided to crank it up defensively and offensively the other team had no chance
I didn't find anything the announcer said to really be anti-American. And I've heard his commentary on lot's of volleyball games. We did fight for our Independence but that joke was really corny.
Misty and Kerri chemistry is really good ,they even play in the rain together which is why they won 3 times, when they know something is not right ,they know how to pull up the socks quickly
Just helps you appreciate the skill in volleyball is not so much to desperately get the ball over the net but to set the ball up for your team mate to deliver a killing blow.
Lol wait, I thought he said "like a limbo dancer" (which doesn't make a ton of sense either) Little ol' dancer or limbo dancer... Both are kind of amazing?
This commentator was making me mad like it was to the point where i muted it. He was being way to biased and could only talk about the Chinese when the americans were doing great too. And he said something about im pretty sure it was Kerri Walsh rushing the play when the ball was in fact coming right at her face? They usually do a bump set and with the way it was coming towards her she couldnt have gotten that, she reacted the way that was best suited for her and the play which i thought was pretty smart. But then when the Chinese tried to hit the ball over on the second they hit it into the net and it cost them the set but yet it was okay and she wasnt rushing the play but just simply didnt give it enough power? She saw a gap and took the opportunity when she was in a position to set the ball up? I just think it's unfair and it was making me mad but it was an amazing game and each team did great.
I post this while the 2024 Games is in progress. It’s hard to believe this was 12 years ago. Considering I reside in London, it’s as if this were only yesterday. Where has the time gone? My goodness!
8:47 The commentator is talking about fighting for independence. What even..?? And the US DID fight for their independence from the commentators country😂
I agree with the whole comment section... when I watch basketball or football I don't root for 1 team I root for 🤔🤔 nobody or people start getting pissed for some reason.
The commentator was sooo biased... when the Americans were tied “can the Americans take the lead” when the Chinese score a point “No THEy CAnt THe CHiNEse is JUST to GOOD!!!” I wish there was a different commentator.
