GB Taekwondo have revealed they have concluded a deal with the BBC for the British media organsation to broadcast next month’s World Taekwondo Grand Prix which takes place in Manchester live on the interactive Red Button service.

It will be the first time since the 2012 Olympics that an international Taekwondo event held in the UK is screened live, medical promising fans of the sport multiple match viewing options across the event weekend, arthritis 13-15 December.

The World Taekwondo Grand Prix is part of UK Sport’s Gold Event Series which aims to bring over 70 world class sporting events to Great Britain to help build a strong legacy from London 2012. The Grand Prix will see 250 of the world’s top athletes across eight different weight categories battle it out for vital qualification points ahead of Rio 2016.

All 16 of the 2013 World Championship gold medallists and all eight gold medallists from the 2012 Olympics are expected to attend the world-first event, with impressive matches expected across three days of intense competition.

GB Taekwondo director, Steve Flynn, commented: “With just four weeks to go until the competition kicks off, the world’s best athletes are entering the final phase of intensive training and preparation in readiness for Manchester. We’re very excited about the new Grand Prix series and it’s a real boost to see the significance of the event recognised by the BBC. It’s fantastic exposure for Taekwondo, a sport that had such a huge impact at London 2012.”

Olympic medallists Jade Jones and Lutalo Muhammad, together with Michael Harvey, Bianca Walkden and Martin Stamper, will represent Great Britain in the competition.

Newly elected Tokyo Governor Naoki Inose has taken over the reins as chairman further affirming the dedication behind the quest to host the summer Olympics.

Yesterday a strategy meeting was held with the bid committee and top representatives of government, sport and business who all welcomed Governor Inose and re-emphasized their support for the campaign.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) member, Tsunekazu Takeda, who is also head of the bid and the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC), noted, “Governor Inose has been following our Bid closely for the past five years as Tokyo’s Vice Governor. He has steadily supported our aspirations to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, so we couldn’t be happier to have him on our team.

“His guidance and influence will strengthen our collaborations with the national and local governments, as well as the business and sport communities. His strong presence gives us even greater hope of realising our goal to host the greatest celebration on the planet: the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

The strategy meeting started with the official appointment of Inose as chairman.

Inose spoke to the assembly, “I would like to personally thank the Tokyo 2020 Bid Committee for their unyielding passion and dedication throughout this bid campaign. We have learned important lessons from our previous bid, and now have the experience to deliver a stronger and improved bid plan.

“I will do everything possible to host the 2020 Games, by uniting the country as one through close collaboration with the Bid Committee, national government, and sports and business communities.”

The meeting was also an opportunity to touch on the upcoming submission of the candidature file on January 7th at the IOC, the Evaluation Commission visit to the city March 3-7 and the official Ambassador program and the activities that are ongoing to engage the public.

1080 Media Organisation has completed ‘A Summer Like No Other’ having won the hugely prestigious contract to provide multimedia services for the Mayor of London’s 2012 Festival of events which took place throughout the city from June.

With over 250 events  across 33 London boroughs, 1080 Media and their partners provided comprehensive photo and video coverage to make content rapidly available to meet press office and social media requirements, while also recording them for posterity for the Greater London Authority. Highlights included covering huge public events such as the Olympic and Paralympic Torch relays in London, BT London Live in Hyde, Victoria and Regent’s Parks, many of the Mayor’s engagements on location and at City Hall, and the Team GB Parade which showcased London at its cultural and entertaining best in this ‘Summer Like No Other’ line-up. www.molpresents.com

1080 Media worked with TVEverywhere to create a bespoke online Content Management System, and Pete Webb Photography (PWP) with a team of specialist photographers.  Together with 1080 Media’s TV crews, these were deployed throughout the capital for 63 continuous days, working in shifts to manage the demands of the project. The photos and videos were edited on site at events then uploaded to the customised ‘GLA Multimedia Content System’ so that staff at the GLA could swiftly access and distribute the resources.

Cliff Webb, CEO of 1080 Media said, ”we’re delighted to not only win this tender, having pitched against a large number of companies, but also to have delivered what has been a hugely successful project for the GLA. The level of coordination required, the tremendous cooperation with people at City Hall, combined with the technical expertise in delivering this has all been tremendously rewarding”. He continued, ”It was a key assignment spanning hundreds of different events and involved synchronisation with many different groups, from event security to individual organisers and suppliers. We had multiple teams on the road every day needing to be in the right place, and producing top class creativity while uploading to the online system remotely through the 3G network. People were literally working around the clock to make it all happen and it was a fantastic technical, yet inspiringly artistic project to be involved with, which culminated for me personally in being on board the floats with the triumphant Team GB Parade, and experiencing that incredible wave of emotion’’.

The tender was announced in May and 1080 Media passed two selection processes before being awarded the contract, just 3 weeks before the first event took place on the River Thames at Tower Bridge, with Seb Coe, Jeremy Hunt MP, and Mayor Boris Johnson. To meet the demands of the project, TVEverywhere rapidly adapted their existing ‘mStorer’ system for use by GLA. CEO Iolo Jones commented ‘’as well as making it easy to upload, version, control and distribute videos and images around the world, adopting our mStorer system meant that a record of these unique events is now preserved in the library for future generations, while being instantly accessible online. We continued to evolve the system to meet demands as the project moved along, which has helped develop this into what we believe is a world beating system that could be utilised by any company or authority requiring a secure but flexible archive.”

Pete Webb, an acclaimed and experienced adventure and events specialist set the style of coverage for the assignments, guiding the team that produced stunning images of the capital in all its glory. He commented, ‘’it was an extraordinary opportunity to capture the city through one of the most exciting and colourful moments London has ever seen. We and the video crews had access to incredible iconic and historic locations, to athletes and top class international performers, and it really was an amazing privilege to be involved’’.

Di Henry, the Programme Director of Look & Celebrations for GLA said, ‘’we chose 1080 Media because we were impressed by their approach to the criteria in the tender, and were attracted to a strong technical and creative proposal which delivered some outstanding coverage, and really helped capture the Mayor’s ‘Summer Like No Other’’.
