    Leaving aside the gender stuff, as I'm not sure what your point is, how often does any main commentator in any sport have much experience of competing in the sport concerned? I'd say it isn't the norm at all. Look at English language Formula 1 coverage for example, David Croft doesn't, James Allen didn't, Jonathan Legard didn't. Murray Walker did a bit on bikes in the 1940s... Only Ben Edwards did some lower formula circuit racing.

    The main failing of WRC+ is is in the co-commentary position, there are so many ex-competitor's that could do well in that role, but they're seemingly too cheap to fill that position properly.
