Eurosport will provide NowThis access to its library of sports content and will be the initial European media partner in the NowThis Sports vertical that is slated to launch in May. Eurosport will also be the exclusive advertising sales team in Europe for NowThis Sports, which\u00a0will offer an entertaining and emotional look at the stories behind the athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership will go into effect immediately as both companies begin working through social content plans for the 2018 Winter Olympics, as well as launch plans for NowThis Sports. Eurosport is the exclusive home of the Olympic Games in 2018-2024, excluding France 2018-2020 and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurosport is dedicated to offering more premium, local and exclusive sports coverage across Europe and drive engagement with existing consumers, as well as a newer, younger mobile-first audience,\u201d said Peter Hutton, the CEO of Eurosport. \u201cThis innovative partnership with NowThis, the number one video news publisher on the social web, will allow us share our cutting-edge storytelling and connect our passionate audiences with their favorite athletes in a unique and dynamic way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to partner with Discovery\u2019s own Eurosport to help bring the incredible stories behind sports and the athletes who play them to the social web, beginning with the Olympics in February,\u201d said Athan Stephanopoulos, the president of NowThis. \u201cWe are keenly aware that this category is a passion point for many young people around the world.
