World Triathlon has extended its exclusive partnership with Infront, a Wanda Sports Group company, for another eight years until the end of the 2028 season.
The
long-term prolongation will see Infront and World Triathlon continue its close
collaboration to develop the well-established TriathlonLIVE over-the-top
(OTT) platform through dedicated content and marketing campaigns. Infront will
also exclusively distribute the international media rights for World
Triathlon’s top tier events including the World Triathlon Championship Series,
World Triathlon Championship Finals and World Triathlon Sprint & Relay
Championships.
World
Triathlon President and IOC member, Marisol Casado said: “After several seasons
of partnership with Infront we are delighted with the continuous growth of
TriathlonLIVE and the exposure of our sport through our global broadcast
partners. We look forward to continuing this balanced approach together
with Infront to reach and engage our worldwide audience via all media
channels.”
Julien
Terniisien, Infront Senior Vice President Summer Sports said: “Our cooperation
with World Triathlon over the last few years provides a strong foundation for
this extended agreement despite the global disruptions to the season and we are
excited to continue our collaboration. This long-term partnership allows us to
build on a joint strategy to find the right balance between broadcast and the
growing importance of the TriathlonLIVE to bring the sport to a wider and more
engaged audience.”
Since it
began its partnership in 2018, World Triathlon and Infront have worked together
to further develop its offering to fans. This included launching a new look of
TriathlonLIVE ahead of the 2019 season, which now provides subscribers with
more complete and in-depth coverage from over 80 live events per season, as
well as exclusive content, behind the scenes videos, extended interviews and
live coverage of other events, including national end regional triathlon races.
