Can’t decide which commentary to go with. Two people I’ve never heard of on D+ or Matt Chilton on BBC. Which the best of a bad bunch?

you can see the power of the river by how far they were dragged out around the turn!
I heard two start signals - a swimming style beep then the regular hooter.

I watched the pre-amble where some Scottish twat on BBC was pulling up Vicky Holland for her ‘pronounciation’ of some French names.
I don’t have D+.

The likes of Richard Murray and other non-swimmers amongst the men will be
