Especially in cricket where nothing much seems to happen for hours... :-) The BBC "Test Match Special" on radio is something of an institution, renowned for its usually amusing commentaries about everything, even occasionally cricket :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I stumbled on this clip of several announcers calling Canada's winning goal for hockey at the last Winter Olympics. Even without the visuals (which are very easy to find anyway), the play-by-play of the goal as done in various languages was fun for me to compare.
The announcers from France were more into it than anyone else and if I didn't know French, I would have thought that it was France that won the gold medal. Korean sounded interesting in a good way on the play whereas I couldn't help rid myself of the idea of watching a soccer game when hearing the British and Spanish announcers. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Awesome post!
Hehe yeah this sounded like football :D in almost all languages tbh. Italian and Korean are maybe the only exceptions. And to some extent German, just because the word Tor was absent. Do they use Scheibe in hockey? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Glad that you liked it, Serpent. :-) In the description of the video, there's a link to a .mp3 on Google docs which has all of those voices and more including a Polish play-by-play and a Finnish one with Mertaranta, but none of them beat that call from France TV. Mon Dieu, that was a wild one.
I found a clip with the visuals replayed five times with a different set of broadcasters each time (yes, including the one from France :-)). I can't tell you about Scheibe (ScheiBe?) since I've never watched a German broadcast of a hockey game. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I should keep watching MMA in Chinese on the Chinese site Youku (they don't have YouTube here). I tried
it a few times, I should get back to it. I've been watching the Chinese MMA promotion RUFF. I'd really like to learn the Chinese terminology they use, especially since I'm quite active in the sport here in China. 1 person has voted this message useful |
