Eurosport has sacked Bob Ballard from its commentary team for the Olympics over a sexist comment about Australia’s swimming gold medallists. The first night of action in the pool was headlined by the 4x100m freestyle relay finals, with the women’s race taking place before the men. Mollie O’Callaghan, Emma McKeon, Meg Harris and Shayna Jack secured Australia’s fourth straight gold medal in the women’s race and were pictured celebrating as they made their way around the pool.
Criticism began to mount on social media but Ballard posted on social media about returning for the start of Sunday’s action in Paris, only for Eurosport to take action during the day. “During a segment of Eurosport’s coverage last night, commentator Bob Ballard made an inappropriate comment,” the broadcaster said in a statement. “To that end, he has been removed from our commentary roster with immediate effect.
