    "Nicely done!"

    When I've seen Scott Hamilton before, what has struck me is how often he says "nicely done!"

    I'm of an age (48) where Dick Button and figure skating commentary were synonymous--not just for the Olympics, but throughout the winter on Wide World of Sports (before it turned into the Wide World of Boxing). Sure, he seems a bit of a stuffed-shirt, but it seems to fit the sport.
