The fake audience/cheering on the triathlon is so cringe. It's looping over and over again -- the race will take nearly two hours.

Why are they using tinned audience?

Literally just for excitement reasons, they need audio for the wide shots and stretches where the crowd is a bit thinner. It does make sense -- nothing wrong with sweetening the broadcast a bit -- but they could use a longer loop!

I remember during covid they used it for the AFL.

To be honest I don’t know what was worse. A bad looping audio crowd with someone shouting something obnoxious that got replayed repeatedly or an empty soulless stadium.

Empty soulless was DEEPLY upsetting!!!

I wish they'd stop talking.
