I think Chris and Louise work well together, and Eurosport have previously used Mark too. They hadn’t used Nicky for ages. The second I heard that Simon and Nicky were doing the ISU feed I knew it would be terrible; as others have said they need a Chris (or Mark) who really are in technik to save them.
I don’t think Eurosport will fire Simon but I doubt he will commentate for skating again after all this criticism of his commentary has now become so public. I know we’ve all joked about it on here for a long time, but as the rules keep changing he falls more and more behind. He got away with it on Eurosport but on a worldwide feed this was bound to happen, and having Nicky along as well was ridiculous, even Simon alone would have been better. Nicky adds nothing of substance. He’s so out of touch it’s insulting to use him.
