NBC has added a couple decorated Olympians to its coverage of the Rio Games, with the Opening Ceremony a little more than a week away on Friday, Aug. 5.
Four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross and 2012 Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee are set to join NBC Olympics’ coverage of track and field. Both served as guest analysts for the NBC Sports Group’s coverage the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials earlier this month.
“We’re thrilled to bring the expertise of Sanya and Trey to our track and field coverage, where they will take viewers inside the sport and provide specific details and insights about the athletes,” said Jim Bell, Executive Producer, NBC Olympics.
