NBC bagged gold in the "Best On Air Promotion", "Best Olympic Feature" and "Best Olympic Program" categories. Its lone silver came in the "Best Athlete Profile" category, won by TV Record in Brazil.

German broadcaster ZDF was the only other broadcaster to win multiple awards, a bronze in the "Best On Air Promotion" and "Best Olympic Feature" categories, both for "Olympia Live."

Gold in the "Best Olympic Sports Production" by Olympic Broadcasting Services went to its sailing coverage.

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
