It takes two key skills to efficiently read a sports bulletin on live television.
First, to be able to read the bulletin.
Second, to be able to avoid falling off your chair.
So Dr Mumbo salutes Nine’s Erin Molan, who’s already half way there.

During her sports wrap, viewers heard a thud, followed by a muffled “Shit”.
Then Molan battled on: “The Tour de France… I’ve just fallen off my chair… now I’m all good…”
