yoshi Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Two things: One, I'm sure that the English language announcer is the same one that announces at train stations on the Southern network, any other Sussex or Surreyites who can confirm? And does Bach insist on the 1976 victory being mentioned when he's introduced, or is it just a novelty with it being his first games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All IOC members are announced with their medals (at the victory ceremonies etc.). It appears volunteers are filling in the seats where athletes would sit to make it look like its not empty.
