Once we have consolidated ourselves as a leading provider worldwide in the news market, we want to give the next step and we hope that in Paris 2024 or LA 2028 we can be in charge of the production of several sports of the Olympic event, maintaining in parallel, of course, the leadership in the news market," he comments from Tokyo.
