NBC Sports has selected SMT to provide real-time data presentation services and results and timing interfaces for its production of the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics, July 24-August 11, and August 28-September 8, respectively.

The software graphically shows key events on a unified timeline, allowing NBC Sports' talent to quickly see how a race began, when a lead changed, or where an athlete's performance improved, enhancing storytelling capacity.
The Olympic Games generate a massive amount of data, data processing and analysis opportunities, and consuming that volume and normalizing and integrating that data into storytelling enhancements plays a critical role in NBC Sports' production, said Dan Robertson, VP, Olympics Information Technology, NBC Sports. SMT has been a reliable partner for over two decades, delivering real-time and post-production data integration with our on-air and digital presentations, which help us produce and highlight the remarkable achievements of the world's best athletes to viewers in the United States.
