Our Olympic Experience - Tales from the Riverbank


This was our workplace for the duration of the Games.


This is the view from our office



As mentioned in an earlier blog, we were sports statisticians



One of us did a running commentary of one of the teams when they were in possession - with particular attention to any shots on goal and another member of the team input the details into a tablet computer. The third member of the team did the running commentary for the other team. Other team members noted the substitutions. In hockey a player may be substituted many times during a game - at this level there are some 100 such substitutions during the 70 minutes of the game. The data was fed by live datastream to the match commentators.


During the Games we managed to see most of the teams
