The commentator was the producer from the webcasting company and is not a climber. The organisers provided him with a local assistant but he wasn't very good. At the debrief yesterday morning with the organisers, the web people and the IFSC all of this was talked over and they all know that this is one area that needs improving, and is an area that should be easy to improve.
Don't forget that Dave Garrans came 8th and was 1 of only 3 people to do the hardest problem in the semi.
