Olympics commentator axed over sexist remarkGetty ImagesThebasketbol puan durumu comments were made while the Australian team was celebratingA veteran sports commentator has been sacked from his Olympics role after making a sexist remark about Australian female swimmers following their gold medal win. As the 4x100m freestyle relay team were making their way off the pool deck in Paris, Bob Ballard said they were "finishing up", adding "you know what women are like... hanging around, doing their make up". The clip quickly went viral and broadcaster Eurosport later said he had been removed from the commentary line-up. Ballard has yet to comment publicly on his remarks. Mollie O’Callaghan, Emma McKeon, Meg Harris and Shayna Jack had just beaten the US and China, to make it the fourth Olympics in a row where the Australia has claimed the gold medal in the event.They were waving to crowds and celebrating the achievement when Mr Ballard made his comments.

"During a segment of Eurosport’s coverage last night, commentator Bob Ballard made an inappropriate comment," the broadcaster said in a statement."To that end, he has been removed from our commentary roster with immediate effect."Mr Ballard has been a stalwart of global sports coverage since the 1980s, reporting on multiple Olympic games and World Championships.He has commentated an array of sports including water polo, ice hockey and wheelchair tennis, but is best known for his coverage of swimming and diving.Swimming Australia has been approached for comment.AustraliaRelatedMum jailed for forcing daughter into fatal marriage4 hrs agoAustraliaSurfer's leg unable to be reattached after shark attack8 hrs agoAustraliaAustralian hockey star amputates finger to play at Olympics3 days agoAustralia
