Broadcaster to air 12 30-minute highlights shows
Channel 4 is airing 12 30-minute highlights shows from the World Downhill Skateboarding Championship.
Starting from 2 July, the broadcaster has been airing these shows - so far rounding up events from Austria and Turkey. This weekend, 4-6 July, the competition moves to the UK, with the Isle Of Man to host. Races see competitors go head to head on closed mountain roads, with speeds regularly reaching up to 120km/h.
DAZN, Extreme, Triller, and Riding Zone TV (France) show the competition live around the globe, with Channel 4 the first dedicated UK broadcaster.
Selim Kemahli, managing director of Race Marketing & Management, said: “This new partnership with Channel 4 is a game changer for the sport in the UK market, providing a powerful platform to showcase our athletes and the unique spectacle of downhill skateboarding to a broader audience. We hope this is just the beginning of growing the visibility of the sport and attracting more partners that share our vision.”
