News summary

Gabby Logan, a BBC presenter, faced backlash after using the phrase 'c**k up' twice during her commentary on the USA's disqualification in the men's 4x100m relay at the Paris Olympics. Despite Team USA being the favorites, they were disqualified due to a handover error, allowing Canada to win gold, with South Africa and Great Britain taking silver and bronze. Logan defended her choice of words on social media, explaining the historical context of the term, which she suggested was not as crude as it sounded. Viewers expressed mixed reactions, with some supporting her and others shocked by her language. The incident has sparked a discussion about the appropriateness of language used in sports commentary on public broadcasts. This marks a 20-year gold medal drought for Team USA in the men's 4x100m relay, their last victory being in 2000.
