Universities Week
 
 

 

Thank you to everyone who entered our exclusive Universities Week competition, 'Become the Commentator'.

 

Our three finalists received some top tips from renowed commentator Paul Dickenson at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday 5th May at the BUCS Visa Outdoor Athletics Championships (OAC), a London 2012 test event as part of the London Prepares Series .

All three finalists got the chance to commentate over events during the day before our winner, Joe Townsend, a BA Politics student from University of Birmingham was picked to commentate in front of 46,000 people during the Mens 400x400m relay on Saturday evening.
