Athletes aren’t the only ones in the zone during the Summer Olympics in Paris, as Scott Hanson found out the hard way.

When it comes to the 2024 Paris Olympics, fans from all over can catch all the Olympic action across the wide range of sports being played thanks to “Gold Zone,” a streaming option that ensures viewers can see the most exciting moments from Paris while maximizing and enhancing the viewing experience.

For fans in America, you are already used to this type of technology when it comes to the NFL season, so the “Gold Zone” is sort of the Olympic equivalent of NFL Network’s RedZone as they both feature host Scott Hanson.

In the midst of calling all the most important Olympic action on Peacock’s Gold Zone broadcast, Scott Hanson found out how injury-prone he could be when he hurt his hand rooting for Team USA.

On Monday, Hanson took to his X account, formerly Twitter, to show the cut he suffered on his hand while pounding on his desk in the Gold Zone.

Scott Hanson, unfortunately, hit the desk at the right angle to cut his finger and bled on his notes.

“I was pounding the desk on Gold Zone when Team USA was winning a medal. I’m designated ‘likely’ to return,” Hanson wrote as he posted a picture of himself making a face like he knew he screwed up.

As for what he was cheering for, it came as Luke Hobson of the United States men’s swimming team earned bronze in the 200-meter freestyle.

For those unaware of the Gold Zone, it streams live on Peacock from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. ET each day for the duration of the Games.

Scott Hanson and his injured pinkie finger have been there since July 27 and will remain there through Aug. 10.

What Can Viewers Expect From The Gold Zone Featuring Scott Hanson

Scott Hanson might be down, but he’s not out. He is in charge of getting fans to the best action of the Paris Olympics.

For those who are unaware, “Gold Zone” is a whip-around show available on Peacock. On it, viewers can expect to be taken to events as they occur at the Olympics.

Basically, you can go from watching a rugby match to watching women’s basketball to watching gymnastics, all within seconds based on the action that is going down.

If anybody knows how to deliver action as it happens, it is Scott Hanson.
