Even before the thousands athletes of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris floated down the Seine River and into the hearts of fans across the globe – the first time the opening ceremony at the Summer Olympics was held outside of a stadium – teams of announcers were in place to share and celebrate every detail.

Their continued participation in the plethora of sports and activities taking place from July 26 to Aug. 11 brings context and organization to the countless hours of excitement and chaos. From pre-show analysis to play-by-play coverage to medal ceremonies, recaps, interviews and breakdown, they’re there. 

But who are they? Who are the folks we’re inviting into our homes each day to share the Olympic experience?
