(Atlanta) - You’ve seen their by-lines - now’s your chance to hear what some of the world’s leading Olympic beat reporters think about major events involving the Olympics, such as the short list for the 2020 Games and possible new sports for the Olympics.
Stephen Wilson of the AP, Hiroki Shoda of Kyodo News, and Sven Busch of DPA will join ATR editor Ed Hula Wednesday, May 24, at SportAccord in Quebec City.
“We’ve had IOC members, federation leaders and heads of organizing committees for past ATR Newsmaker events. For the first time we have three of the leading Olympic beat journalists in the world,” Hula said.
