Tim Hutchings for sure, he really knows his stuff and isn't afraid of saying what he thinks.

Lewis Johnson is the best sideline reporter in just about all sports (loved him back when he did Notre Dame football too). Ato Bolden is a great commentator on sprints. That's a great start NBC!
But so help me god, if Craig Masbeck gets anywhere near this Olympics commentating for NBC, I'm switching over to the British broadcasters on whatever streaming is available. What a corporate shill for Nike!
Tom Hammond isn't a bad play-by-play guy, but he might be past his prime. I would like to see Paul Burmeister do the track play-by-play. He called water polo at the last Olympics, but has stepped it up to be Tirico's understudy for Notre Dame football. If Tirico is doing swimming, Burmeister should probably do track and field.

I think Ato Boldon is great. I like Dan O’Brien too - he is not perfect, but comes prepared and has a strong delivery that makes it feel like an event.
Loved your analysis of NBC announcers. Find Ato B knowledgeable; however, big ego, negative at times about athletes, cocky & often calls false starts, etc incorrectly. Quick to point out stuff without proof. Ato talks too much. Not skilled like leigh diffey(LD) who is a pro at calling races enthusiastically. HOPE to hear LD in Paris. He is awesome. Leigh makes watching t & f exciting.
