Swimming -
21 Nov 2003
World Cup Swimming kicks off the 24th of November in Daejon, Korea. IEC in Sports represents the global television rights for this top World Cup series through various agreements with individual organisers, event companies and agencies.
World Cup Swimming is one of the oldest projects IEC has been involved with since the company began and IEC’s dedication to swimming has tremendously advanced the international recognition of the World Cup Series on television.
'With the Athens summer Olympics around the corner, the international focus on the World Cup series will do nothing but increase,' says Jonas Persson, CEO of IEC in Sports.
Korea, South Africa and Russia are new stops for the eight leg series that runs from November 2003 to February 2004. Each stop is a two or three day period and the competition format is the exciting 25 metre short races.
There are 34 disciplines at each venue, 17 men’s races and 17 women’s races. IEC has secured television distribution on all continents for the series.
'There are a dozen channels from around the world that will be broadcasting the series live or and delayed television pictures,' says Jonas Persson.
Regarding the World Cup event from Berlin, IEC in Sports has an agreement with CSI Octagon, who is representing the SportA programming portfolio.
