This compilation of Andrew Cotter’s hilarious one-liners from the Olympics closing ceremony is gold medal winning stuff
We’ve been big fans of Andrew Cotter ever since he went wildly viral during lockdown with the wonderfully inventive and funny videos of his dogs, Olive and Mabel.
He’s been at the top of the sports commentating game for some time now but the Olympics closing ceremony gave him the chance to throw up a few more curveballs than he normally does during his day job and it was just tremendous.
Cotter was commentating on the Paris games’ finale with his BBC colleague Hazel Irvine and while one moment in particular went wildly viral it was full of memorable moments.
And all-round top telly critic and broadcaster @scottygb has put them all in one place and it’s a gold-medal winning watch.

I have never felt an ‘ugh’ more than the one after that Seine joke. That ‘ugh’ is my spirit animal.
