Victor "Vic" Rauter (born 1955) is a Canadian sportscaster for TSN, having joined the network in 1985.
[2] Before joining TSN, Rauter was a sportscaster at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Toronto covering the Olympic Games.
[1] When he started covering curling in 1986, his experience with the sport was limited to playing once or twice a year for fun.
He reviewed old curling tapes to prepare for the job, and when doing commentary he would ask the analyst (at the time, Ray Turnbull) "simple, basic questions" to help viewers with less knowledge of the sport.
[3] In addition to his curling coverage for TSN, Rauter has covered auto racing and soccer[4] since 1986 as well as hockey, bowling, squash, volleyball, cycling, rugby, equestrian, and skiing.
