                                                               The Sports Marketing and Creative team has been working
                                                               on the Tokyo Olympics for over two years, with promos and
                                                               teasers created back in 2019 before the Games were
                                                               canceled due to COVID. Ever since we got confirmation of
                                                               the event this year, the team has been working tirelessly
                                                               on giving a voice to the Olympics on our air and across

                                                               our properties that is consistent with the look and feel of
                                                               the NBC coverage, but focused on Hispanic athletes and
                                                               countries. I feel extremely proud of the work my team--
                                                               Giuliana, Jacobo, and the Juanes (Rico and Albornoz)--
                                                               has done.


                                                               I believe the Olympic games have a special allure
                                                               unmatched by any other event. It combines national pride
                                                               and a multitude of sports and disciplines that are usually

                                                               not in the spotlight. It also provides an incredible
                                                               opportunity for young and seasoned athletes to compete
                                                               on a leveled playing field for the most coveted award of
                                                               them all--the Olympic medal.


                                                               Personally, I am setting my alarms for the Games already!
                                                               Despite the time difference, I want to enjoy the spirit of
                                                               Olympics because I’m sure it will be an event to remember.
