Evert ten Napel (80) returns as a ski jumping commentator: ‘I thought it was a joke at first’

For a moment it seemed that an icy New Year’s tradition would disappear like snow in the sun: the NOS broadcast of ski jumping. SBS6 jumps into the gap left by the public broadcaster at the last minute. On January 1 at 1:30 PM, commentator Evert ten Napel (80) will interrupt his retirement to guide the skiers off the slope with his iconic voice. “I thought it was a joke at first when she called me.”
