London 2012 Olympics: legendary commentator Barry Davies to voice the Games at Heathrow Airport Giving travellers a taste of what is to come, Davies has already recorded a couple of welcome messages to be played at Heathrow before the Games start. In the first he announces: "I'm Barry Davies, the official Olympic commentator for Heathrow and I say it's gold for Great Britain." In the other he predicts big things for Team GB, saying: "Commentator Barry Davies here, the Olympic Games have come to London and my we are making the most of it, the team has been absolutely brilliant." As part of his 'Voice of London 2012' role, Davies has also given a commentary masterclass to Heathrow's operations team, to help them deliver Olympic announcements to the eight million passengers expected to pass through the airport over the next three months. Speaking about his new role, Davies said: "The London 2012 Olympic Games will bring an electric atmosphere to the capital this summer and I'm looking forward to extending this to the thousands of passengers who will be passing through Heathrow's arrivals gates for the greatest show on earth. It is a different and exciting task and I hope the passengers will enjoy it. As well as his unrivalled Olympic pedigree, Davies has covered nine World Cups and seven European Championships in a long and distinguished career. He also took part in the Olympic torch relay on the opening day, carrying the flame on the outskirts of Plymouth.
