Olympics Presenter Admits 'Had a Drink' On-Air

An Australian television presenter issued a public apology after appearing to slur her words during a live segment from the Winter Olympics. The incident occurred during a broadcast from Livigno, Italy, where she was providing an update on Australian athletes' performances.

Initially, studio hosts attributed her on-air stumbles to the cold weather and difficult conditions. However, the presenter later took to the airwaves to acknowledge the situation, admitting she had "misjudged" it and "shouldn't have had a drink." She cited the cold, altitude, and not having dinner as contributing factors but emphasized taking full responsibility for her actions, stating it was not the standard she sets for herself.

Following her sincere apology, the presenter received a wave of support from the public and prominent figures, including the Australian Prime Minister. He expressed his support, noting the demanding conditions and time differences faced by those working internationally. Viewers also rallied behind her, commending her for owning her mistake and being human.
