IOC Allows Olympians Use Competition Footage
The International Olympic Committee in December announced a pilot Olympian Highlights Programme allowing athletes from Beijing 2022 to access 60 seconds of their competition footage for personal use, starting in the 2026 Winter Games period though not using Milan Cortina material. The move reflects shifting media habits and monetisation strategies, easing broadcaster exclusivity limits while enabling athlete branding and sponsor engagement.
