It's fine to chase down interviews with competitors at the Olympic Games, but maybe try waiting until you've finished the one you're doing.
At the very least, don't be so damned obvious about it.
Former Olympic gold medalist and current IBF world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua was in Rio watching his 2012 team-mate Nicola Adams progress to the women's flyweight final.
BBC presenter John Inverdale made time to speak to AJ about his compatriot's achievements. So far so good.
But then...wait a minute...is he...looking over Joshua's shoulder to try to catch the eye of someone else? During a live interview?

He can't be, surely?
Let's check again...yup, we're as sure as we can be.

It's not the first time Inverdale has slipped up on air during the Rio games.
While interviewing Andy Murray about his Olympic tennis achievements, the broadcaster had to be reminded by Murray about the existence of Venus and Serena Williams, two of the sport's most decorated players of their generation.
Some viewers were already asking questions of the 58-year-old after that particular episode, so his treatment of Joshua was hardly going to win him any new fans.
