NBCUniversal has announced that seasoned commentators Mary Carillo, Andrea Joyce, and Jimmy Roberts will provide coverage for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. This marks a significant milestone for each, with Carillo covering her 16th Olympics, Joyce her 17th, and Roberts his 20th.
Mary Carillo will focus on the tennis competitions, continuing her long-standing tradition of providing in-depth analysis and expert commentary. Additionally, she will cover the French Open at Roland Garros, which begins on May 26, marking her 22nd time covering the event.
Andrea Joyce will serve as a sportsdesk reporter and diving commentator. Known for her versatility, Joyce has previously covered gymnastics, including the gold medal-winning run of the 'Final Five' at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro. Her experience and depth of knowledge will be invaluable in her dual roles at the Paris Games.
Jimmy Roberts, celebrating his 20th Olympics, will join Joyce on the sportsdesk. Roberts is renowned for his ability to tell compelling stories about the history of the Games, adding depth and context to the Olympic experience for viewers.
Rebecca Chatman, vice president and coordinating producer of NBC Olympics Production, praised the trio, stating, 'Mary, Andrea, and Jimmy have provided the compelling reporting and storytelling that is a hallmark of our Olympic presentation.'
Carillo humorously reflected on her extensive Olympic experience, saying, 'When you cover as many Olympics as I have you inevitably come to think you know how to judge every sport. It sucks you in, the weeks of the Olympic Games. And if you're as lucky as I am, every morning you text your two great friends, Andrea and Jimmy. You write, 'Heading down to breakfast.' And they come. And it's gold.'
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris promises to be a spectacular event, with NBCUniversal's experienced commentary team adding depth and insight to the coverage. Viewers can look forward to comprehensive reporting and storytelling from Carillo, Joyce, and Roberts, who bring decades of experience to the table.
