I recall their commentary on the Winter Olympics one year, particularly the gymnastics. I could go on about some of their descriptions on certain techniques and floor repertoire but it may venture into the R18+ category. Much of it was hilarious.

Winter Olympics...I think. You're testing my memory. Regardless, they were covering the Gymnastics. "Battered sav" was one of the terms for the gymnasts performances.

Yes, and the figure skating... lots of "flute" and "sloop" references. And who could forget their summer olympics presentation with Fatso the fat arsed wombat and all of their grand final calls (NRL and AFL) with Lionel Rose's "I Thank You" substituting for the national anthem.

Great list of the nicknames they gave to players here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_and_HG%27s_State_of_Origin_commentary

Sorry, I just don't recall seeing the gymnastics at the Winter Olympics.

I think in the summer olumpics gymnastics, the "hello boys" manoeuvre was often performed...

Yes, the 'torn hamstring' is one of the signature moves in winter gymnastics, seriously HT !

T'was the summer Olympics, their commentary on the Greco-Roman Wrestling had me in stitches.

Yes "Hello Boys" & "Battered Sav" saw light of day during the Sydney 2000 Olympics during "the Dream" best TV ever!! "don't forget to dream Roy" fatso should be revived as a national icon. Remember that African swimmer who took about half an hour to finish?? But he did it. Just Gold humour!
