Strict laws in France will prevent presenters Gabby Logan and Clare Balding from leading coverage of both morning and evening sessions during the Paris Olympics this summer.
The BBC duo will be restricted by the French working time directive, which stipulates that workers in the country must have a minimum of 11 hours between shifts. Athletics events are due to start at 9am local time and run late into the evening.
Logan and Balding will therefore head up evening sessions during the Games, leaving Jeanette Kwakye, JJ Chalmers and Hazel Irvine to take care of the morning broadcasts.
