Festival Sport, what numbers! In 50 thousand at the events in Trento and over 16 million video views

From the new princess of rhythmic gymnastics Sofia Raffaeli to the ski queens Lindsey Vonn and Sofia Goggia. In the midst of other 300 guests, including great blue champions, stars of international sport, legends of yesterday, and then coaches, doctors, writers. The Sport Festival, under the banner of the leitmotif “Moments of Glory”, once again gave Trento an edition full of emotions and ideas, to which the public of fans responded with record numbers. Over the four days of events, in fact, fifty thousand people attended the scheduled events. But to this number of spectators who filled the theaters and halls of Trento and invaded the streets and squares of the city, we must then add the even more astonishing number of those who followed the Sports Festival on the large digital stage: over 16 millions, so far, the video views recorded on the sites gazzetta.it and ilfestivaldellosport.it. This is thanks to the live coverage and also to the increasingly widespread on-demand presence of the content available on the two sites. Also this year the book of events and guests has satisfied all palates, even the most demanding ones, offering a parterre of stars worthy of a mini Olympics, in which 30 sports disciplines have found their place. “It was nice to come back to Trento in attendance for this fifth edition of Il Festival dello Sport – said Urbano Cairo, president and CEO of Rcs MediaGroup -. Trento is a beautiful, welcoming city, and in these four days it has become a sort of Olympic village that has welcomed many national and international champions. We are happy to transmit the values ​​of sport through the Festival. Sport is an example of how to behave in life, of how to act in difficult situations, of how discipline, commitment and perseverance are important “.
