NextImg:Scott Hanson bloodies himself rooting on Team USA gymnastics on NBC ‘Gold Zone’

Scott Hanson injured himself in the line of duty on Tuesday.

Hanson, the longtime “NFL Red Zone” host who is anchoring the “Gold Zone” for NBC’s Peacock streaming service during the Paris Olympics, revealed that he bloodied his left hand while celebrating a Team USA medal on the telecast.

“I was pounding the desk on Gold Zone when Team USA was winning a medal. I’m designated ‘likely’ to return,” Hanson wrote on X, accompanied by a photo of a bloody pinkie.

Hanson suffered the injury as the United States men’s gymnastics team earned bronze, the first time they have medaled in 16 years.

The team was comprised of Frederick Richard, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Asher Hong and Stephen Nedoroscik.

The key part of the competition was the pommel horse, with Nedoroscik scoring an outstanding 14.866 to solidify the medal for the United States in a dramatic moment.

Before the Olympics, Hanson was excited about the energy he could bring to “Gold Zone”.

“I hope to deliver those same dopamine hits that we give to our ‘RedZone’ audience to the ‘Gold Zone’ audience,” Hanson told Indiewire. “If I’m going from from gymnastics to swimming, and doing whip-around coverage at ‘Gold Zone,’ it’s the same voice that you hear every NFL Sunday on ‘RedZone.’ Hopefully it meshes well with with this particular Olympic audience.”

He acknowledged it would be a balancing act getting informed about so many countries across dozens of sports.

“There must have been some carnival act in my family tree, like I have some type of a desire to be on a high wire on live TV and challenge myself in multitasking in new and exciting ways,” Hanson told the outlet. “The Olympics is all of that, and then some.”
