For hockey, the men’s panel is on site. The women’s is mixed (Andi Petrillo in Toronto, Cassie Campbell is in Italy, not sure about the other two).
Both reporters are in Italy. For play-by-play, the first crew (Cuthbert/Johnson, Lalonde/Pounder) is in Italy. The second crews are Toronto-based. I had thought they might send the curling crew over but they are also in Toronto.
