Ever wondered how you pronounce Simon Desthieux? Or maybe Daniil Serokhvostov? Even Vanessa Voigt could be tricky… then, wonder no more and check how the athletes pronounce their names and the ones of their teammates.
We apologise to some missing teams and individuals: both late nominations and nomination changes made it difficult to catch up with everyone in time before the conclusion of the final World Cup stages before Beijing.

I love this video. <3
That's a very interesting way to know people of different origins. Would be nice to include name pronouncing from athletes of the host country China. I am sure it will be a completely different world.
Paulina so cute! Let's go!
<3
I can't believe you made this video! I knew the American tv announcers were pronouncing most of the French names wrong, so I assumed they were doing the same to many others. (Most Americans don't hear many foreign languages except Spanish.) I love this, and and as others have said, I could listen to Emilien Jacquelin all day! (I hope he goes into broadcasting when he retires.)
Could someone explain to me what’s up with slavic names and the ending „ova“?
good video, but lost me at „team roc“. ban them!
Так интересно было послушать как действительно правильно произносить фио.губерниеву это глянуть надо бы..
Some of the finnish names are written wrong on the screen.
Strvrtecky? Someone forgot to put vowels in his name.
4:42 so we have to say Karim Khalili
Jakov Fak
Hope this you will keep on doing videos like this for every sport for every Olympics. It´s nice to hear the names as they should be pronounced.
I also hope in the future they will be able to use all letters in the graphics during the Olympics, so it will say Öberg and not the weird Oeberg, for instance.
Yess, yes! Finally I heard the correct pronounce ❤️ And wow – some of my tips were right, but some of them are totally away from the reality 😅😂
Still love everyone ❤️
Ukaleq Slettemark (the danish one) is pronouncing her own name in pure norwegian.
Hanna Sola Holy shit let's go the ultimate starwars crossover.
Loved this! Wish they show the names of the presenters
Only major surprise was the pronunciations of the czech girls names. Didn't know you were supposed to emphasize the last letter a. Sounded very cute.
Kristina, where is Anton Babikov
Dänemark is best🤣🤣
They wrote belarus names wrong
Poor Florent Claude, he seems so stressed out!
There’s a Hanna Sola on the Belarusian team. I hope her parents did that on purpose 🙏
No Indian?
I was surprised by "Gasparin". I figured the -in would be French style/or the named pronounced Russian style with the stress on the last 'a'.
Merci pour cette initiative, si seulement les journalistes français étaient capables de comprendre que la moindre des choses serait de savoir prononcer correctement les noms des sportifs (je parle en général, ceux qui commentent le biathlon sont loin d'être les pires).
Laegreid n a pas prononcé son nom alors que c est un des noms qui suscite le plus de variantes parmi les commentateurs français !
Is it Paulina Fialkova?
Just don't say "Oyberg" and you're fine with the Swedes I think. I've heard the French, German and Slavic versions of Swedish names and they're fairly close to the mark usually. Maybe if Henning Sjökvist makes it there will be issues.
C'est trop bête, j'ai mal prononcé certains noms et je n'aurai plus l'occasion de les entendre correctement car ils et elles ont prit leur retraite, ça m'énerve!
Magnifique accent des Vosges méridionales pour la Belgique.
I recommand this video especially to German commentators!
I am French so I listen the other languages lol. I love the names Krcmar and Stvtrecky ❤️❤️
Came to settle an argument about how to pronounce Sturla's last name. This did not help. 😅
Please make a new one of these for the upcoming season!
