A few funny quotes of the Israeli olympic commentators (translated)
 

The Israeli 1st channel is known for making a lot of "Bush type" quotes, and here are a few I translated for you:

Opening Ceremony:


"A great delegation from Argentina with the soccer team which wom the Copa America" - The commentator forgets that Brazil won the Copa America

"Here comes Brazil... with their soccer team" - Commentator forgets the Brazilian soccer team didn't make it to the olympic games.

"A small countryin Africa with 160,000 citizens" - Commentator doesn't realize there are actually 16 million citizens in Ivory Coast

"Looks like there are a lot of Greek fans in the stadium" - Yael Arad, Female commentator

Judo:


"Arik is very static, except for when he moves" - Yael Arad explains the complexity of judo.

"Now only 2 minutes left in the fight, even less, 2 and a half minutes"

"Arik Zeevi wants the gold medal, so does the Dutch" - Commentating the fight for the bronze medal

Swimming:


"Here is Mladen Tapavacevic (sp) from Serbia and Herzegovina" - The commentator making up a state

Basketball:


"We're having a great tournament... Even the games which weren't very high in quality, supplied a high quality of play"

"Carlos Boozer, who's playing for Cleaveland" - The commentator, not aware that Boozer was drafted to Utah

General:


"That was a very strong kick" - Commentator who's used to commentating soccer, can't get used to handball commentating

the greek news director of the public channels was one of the commentators during the olympics (some 65y.old) and he was making comments all the time like:

nice body this young athelete.
Brazil has pretty chicks dont you think?
Wow, look at this beauty...
What great fresh bodies these gymnastics athletes have.

The other two didn't know what to say :glugglug
