In the follow-up of their successful collaboration around the London 2012 Olympic Games - for which RTVE received the Iris Award for best coverage - the two companies have again set to deliver the most comprehensive Olympic coverage to fans across web, mobile, tablet, games consoles, and smart TVs.
