Michele Tafoya<\/strong>, one of the top NFL reporters, will be covering swimming at the 2016 Olympic Games, according to reports from Sporting News.<\/p>\n

The two-time Emmy winner\u00a0has worked at four Olympic Games for NBC, but this will be her first time doing swimming coverage. She will be joining\u00a0Dan Hicks\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Rowdy Gaines<\/strong> who will be covering their sixth straight Games. In 2012, the duo was joined by\u00a0Andrea Kremer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hicks and Gaines worked with Tafoya\u00a0at World Championships in Kazan last summer. “That experience was an excellent introduction to the sport and to the world’s best competitors,” said Tafoya.<\/p>\n

Rowdy Gaines<\/strong>\u00a0took to Twitter to share his excitement for working with his co-commentator.<\/p>\n
