BBC Presenters Limited by French Law at Olympics

Gabby Logan and Clare Balding, prominent BBC presenters, will have their Olympic coverage roles limited due to France's strict working time directive, which mandates an 11-hour break between shifts. This rule prevents them from hosting both morning and evening sessions during the Paris 2024 Olympics. Logan will cover evening athletics events at the Stade de France, while Balding will host evening swimming finals at La Defense Arena. Morning coverage will be handled by Jeanette Kwakye, JJ Chalmers, and Hazel Irvine. The BBC team has adapted to these changes, ensuring compliance with French labor laws while maintaining comprehensive coverage of the games.
