fans vs media

The last couple days, impatient sports fans have been asked to wait for content and curb their tweet-insta-facebooking activities. 

While this is obviously complete idiocy, what is interesting from a broadcasting perspective is that fan generated content is becoming increasingly creative and colorful, as well as tres snappy, leaving traditional media looking slow, boring and well, traditional in comparison.

FAN GENERATED

MUCHO MILLION $ PRODUCTIONS

here's to the fans that make the Olympics fun to follow and the athletes who make great facial expressions.

Nr 2 Nadal is blown out of Wimbledon by "upstart" nr 100 Rosol. John Lloyd , BBC Sport, remarked, "You kept thinking that at some stage Rosol would realise who he was playing and maybe lose his nerve. But that never happened."

 

With Nadal out of the races the fight stood between Murray and Federer in the final. Like so many times before the Brit crashed and burned!

 

On the womens side former nr. 1 Caroline Wozniacki lived up to her current form by hitting rock bottom and going of the pubs in the 3rd round. From her barstool she could watch Serena Williams demolish everything as she went on to win yet again.

the summer's best sports moments

so far...

EuroPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2012

Ukraine & Poland

le Tour de France

the Champions League

Chelsea kicked of summer winning this years champions league. They went into the semi-finals and the final as massive underdogs playing a 8-1-1 line-up with Drogba covering Messi on fullback. The old english guard took everyone by surprise and to home the gold.

Formula 1 

Summer has taken us all - It holds on to us with it's forceful grip of sun, freedom, drinks and dreams. Today London opens it's gargantuan gates to world and welcomes all of us to participate in the greatest sports event on the planet. Since Aristotle and the days when Greece were the superpower, the Olympic Games have summoned all of us who belive in sports, and relit dreams of standing on the upper echelons and be hailed by the world. And if you within the next few weeks feel this desire - I suggest you take up Curling! Its never to late to Curl!!

 

But today we'll take a look at this summers most exciting moments in sports and reminisce the highlights.

F*** it.. If I can't win Ill just take out this guy

Lewandowski and Poland opened the Euros with a stunner against Greece. The game went on with 2 red cards, a missed penalty and a late equalizer. 

 

Even though Ballotelli tried his best to get rid of competition and beat his opponent in all possible ways, Spain prevailed and took home their 3rd consecutive international trophy. First time ever in history.

In the final they completely pummeled Italy 4-0 leaving no doubt.

WIMBLEDON

Fernando Alonso won the European and the German Grand Prix during the summer and put Ferrari back on the map. Red Bull Racing had to settle for the English Grand Prix.

The Beast from the East Peter Sagan rode all the way into the limelight and this years Tour de France will be remembered for his incredible exploits and Chris Froome waiting for Wiggins on several occasions. Who was the rightful winner if not for bureaucracy.

So far it's been awesome and the next weeks will hopefully give us more to cheer for!
