Every four years, the greatest athletes in the world come together to compete and this year a familiar face is stepping up to the Olympic challenge – Gold Logie nominee Andy Lee . Well, kind of. Because all Olympians are so great, to our eyes, their brilliance is hard to grasp.

Enter an entirely average person, who is physically bland and unaccomplished, attempting a range of sports to perfectly demonstrate just how brilliant Olympians really are. Andy Lee is the Comparison Man . In his new mini-series, the 2024 Gold Logie nominee will take up the challenge of the everyday man trying to match the feats of Olympians.



The eight two-minute long episodes, voice overed by renowned commentator Gerard Whateley, will feature throughout the 9Network's coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 from this weekend. The episodes will see Andy taking on archery, 100 metres hurdles, 100 metres sprint, hammer throw, 10 metre dive, 100 metre butterfly and artistic swimming – and if there's one thing Andy is a champion at, it is giving it a crack. "These athletes are so bloody good!" Andy said, "They really deserve an average, bland, unremarkable human to demonstrate that.

Here I am."

"He was the captain of the water polo team at school so he was all over that," Andy laughed.

"I still do play hockey, so if I was going to play an Olympic sport a think maybe a team sport so they could hide me somewhere in the mix." He may be more of an Olympic viewer than an Olympic champion, but viewers can help the host of The Hundred with Andy Lee reach gold at this year's Logie Awards.
