Glasgow 2026 Reinforces the RevSportz Model: Bigger Teams, Better Coverage

Glasgow 2026 is done, and it is time to go home. While the Indian campaign has been stellar, Team RevSportz too has done its absolute best here at the Games. As a young organisation that is less than five years old, we had, much like in the case of Paris 2024, made an ambitious plan for Glasgow. Coming to Glasgow a month in advance to do a recce and then bringing a team of three to the Commonwealth Games was considered crazy. How could we spend so much money? How would we generate revenue? Is this model of sending multiple journalists to a Games sustainable?

Honestly, as Editor and Founder, I am now used to these questions. All I know is that it is essential to cover the Games in the best way possible, and one person can never do justice to a spectacle like this. I have seen much bigger crews from organisations like NBC and the BBC cover the Games, and the lesson is that we need reporters at as many venues as possible, while also having someone intellectually strong enough to report on the culture surrounding the Games.

That is how the plan was made. Get more people on the ground with a knowledge of Olympic sports and make sure all Indian events are covered in real time. It is a clear case of disruption in sports media coverage, and not many believed in the plan when we first implemented it in Birmingham. Hangzhou was another test case, and by then we were convinced it worked. In Paris, it worked like magic. On days when Indian events were taking place simultaneously, we were the only team with people everywhere. Shooting was three hours away from Paris, and we had a dedicated team stationed in Châteauroux for all the action. It meant they were not exhausted by travel and could report in real time.

We followed the same model in Glasgow. If Rohan was at Scotstoun, Trisha was at the SEC, and I was somewhere else. It was also a commitment to bring the culture stories to our viewers, and the overwhelming reaction to our coverage says it all. It was important that we asked the hard questions and were constructively critical when needed. The idea was always to be as objective as possible, without compromising on asking the tough questions when required.

We questioned the Indian delegation on the doping menace, asked why our athletes sometimes lack mental strength and why some are content with a Commonwealth Games medal.

We produced videos in real time, broke news, delivered exclusives and pushed the boundaries of our coverage. We know this model works, and now we will apply our learnings in Japan during the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games.

To everyone who watched us, read our stories, commented on our work and engaged with us, a very sincere thank you. We now turn our attention to the Asian Games and the Asian Para Games, with the promise that we will cover the Para Games with the same passion and commitment as the Asian Games. Let us keep documenting the stories that matter.
