Clare Balding

The BBC's ambition to build on the multi-platform success of its Beijing 2008 coverage has been a resounding, astonishing success - like the London 2012 Games itself.
Auntie offered viewers almost virtually unlimited choice on all platforms. Gold medal to the Beeb, certainly. But how did its many presenters do? Find out in this gallery.
Clare Balding (gold medal) - A peerless combination of professionalism and enthusiasm. Her memorable impromptu interview with South African swimmer Chad Le Clos’ emotional dad Bert is just one reason to crown Clare the best of the BBC bunch. Difficult to fault anything about her. Hmm... I don’t like her hair. That’s all I’ve got.
I to thought she was excellent and informed on many sports- however it was disappointing to hear her say Rebecca Adlington ONLY got the bronze............ Come on cut the girl some slack, she is an excellent swimmer always conducting her self in the right manner, humble and would be already beating herself up.
Another question is why Gary Lineker was used to interview athletes when his first line was always 'Not that I know much about your sport....' Stick with football Gary!
Jake came fifth and outside the medals.
He's too self important and kids us that he is very knowledgable on all sports.
Whenever i turn on a sports programme, no matter what sport, whose staring out of the screen at me, Jake Humphrey. Has he got a father holding a high position in the BBC?????????
