Today show sports presenter Danika Mason has raised eyebrows for her rather loose delivery during a live cross from the Winter Olympics in Italy  

Mason, who replaced Alex Cullen in the role earlier this month, crossed to Karl Stefanovic and Jane Azzopardi on Wednesday morning while standing outside in a snowstorm at around 10pm local time 

She left the hosts in stitches as she also made snow angels during the report 

'I think Danika is a bit under the weather,' one viewer wrote, while another added: 'A little under the weather I see, or hear?' 

'Lol Karl, Sarah and Jane passing off Danika as being cold and it's difficult to speak. Most entertaining sports news for the year so far!' another joked.

Others said the segment had brightened their morning, with one user posting: 'Danika's sports reports this morning have literally made my day! Thanks Danni!'

The Daily Mail has reached out to Nine for comment. 

Mason has been reporting on the Winter Olympics since the start of the month, and has been amusing viewers with her fun crosses around the Olympic village. 

The brunette announced her engagement to NRL star fiancé Liam Knight while on a romantic European holiday last year.

The pair went public with their romance in July 2024, just months after she ditched her ex-fiancé Todd Liubinskas.

Daily Mail previously revealed Liubinskas - a personal trainer - later asked Danika to give back her diamond engagement ring because it was a family heirloom.

Mason also kept the $1.5 million Maroubra home she shared with her ex-fiancé.

She later confirmed the couple split due to a 'breakdown in trust.'

'It certainly was an emotional rollercoaster. When someone hurts you like that, you experience all the emotions from sadness to shock to anger. But sometimes you just have to get through it,' she told News Corp.
