We don’t have a press release yet, but based on the information from NBC Sports’ public relations website, we’re able to cull the announcers for each sport for the 2014 Winter Olympics which will be held in Sochi, a warm weather city in Russia that averages 50 degrees in February.
I’ll list the on-air commentators for each sport below. When NBC’s press release listing its entire talent lineup arrives in the Fang’s Bites inbox, I’ll be sure to post it immediately.
Here’s what we have thus far:
