The XXXII edition of the FISU World University Winter Games, taking place in Piedmont, Italy from January 13th to 23rd, 2025, is just around the corner. This major sporting event, held under the FISU (International University Sports Federation) banner, will see over 2,000 student-athletes from 57 nations competing across nine winter disciplines in Turin and five other Piedmont municipalities (Bardonecchia, Pinerolo, Pragelato, Sestriere, and Torre Pellice).
EMG / Gravity Media Italy, a leading provider of broadcasting and media production services, plays a crucial role. They're the selected service provider for the broadcast media, providing directors, assistants, specialized personnel, and logistics for complete event coverage. Their services include live graphics, timekeeping (in collaboration with Microplus), and production of the opening title sequence. The international feed for rights holders will originate from their Broadcast Center in Cologno Monzese (Milan).
The Torino 2025 Games will see EMG/Gravity Media Italy deploy 150 professionals across various venues. Six unit managers and a project manager will oversee the over 125 hours of live coverage planned. Innovative techniques, such as drone usage for events like Biathlon races and the Closing Ceremony, will enhance the viewing experience. Furthermore, EMG/Gravity Media will leverage its expertise to provide strategic advisory services to FISU.
Claudio Cavallotti, managing director of EMG / Gravity Media Italy, states: “Working closely with FISU, we have been engaged for several months in organizing the TV production of the Winter Games. After the positive experience gained during the summer edition of Naples 2019, an even more impressive technological effort is planned for Torino 2025. In addition to this, as with all sporting events, we want to guarantee a high level of production and high-quality final product, with the support of a team of highly experienced professionals. We the aim to confirm EMG / Gravity Media Italy as a reliable partner for FISU, with the help of the most advanced technologies currently in the market.”
