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
These are a few I decided to translate for you guys.. It might not be as funny with my translation, but I think there are a few decent ones...
