As the clock ticks down to the start of the Winter Olympics there’s one group of people more excited than any other. And it’s not the athletes competing, although they still eat, sleep and breathe winter sports: former Olympians who have swapped the slopes, or the track, for the commentary booth.
“Secretly, I've always enjoyed watching it more than doing it,” Lamin Deen tells The Independent. A former bobsleigh pilot who competed in the 2014 and 2018 Games, Deen is part of the punditry and commentary team on TNT Sports, who are broadcasting the Winter Olympics for the first time.
