Olympic broadcaster Eurosport has removed Bob Ballard from its commentary team at Paris 2024 after he made a sexist remark about Australia’s female swimmers.

It came after the Australian women’s 4x100m freestyle relay team of Mollie O’Callaghan, Shayna Jack, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris won gold on Saturday evening.
