00:00At Telesur we have understood that sports is not just a game, it is culture, identity and a force that unites millions and generates unparalleled emotions.
00:10That is why on our 20th anniversary we want to relive the best sports coverage offered throughout these 20 years of history.
00:17Telesur since launching in 2005 has positioned itself as an alternate voice in the global media landscape.
00:34This philosophy has been extended to its sports coverage which has served as a platform to disseminate a critical and social perspective of sports.
00:42At the 2010 South Africa World Cup Beyond Soccer, Telesur focused on the social and economic impact of a country with deep inequalities and a story of racial segregation.
00:51Issues such as investment in infrastructure versus social needs were addressed, connecting sports with the struggle for justice and equality and the role of figures such as Nelson Mandela.
01:01The coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games gave visibility to Latin Americans and Caribbean athletes highlighting their achievements and the history behind them.
01:20Also for emphasizing the impact of the games in the city, particularly on gentrification in a context of economic austerity in the United Kingdoms.
01:28The Brazil 2014 World Cup was also part of our Scream, offering coverage that was characterized by a critical social and political analysis with a strong Latin American perspective, seeking to counteract the more commercial and superficial vision offered by the hegemonic media.
01:49The Chilena was a thematic special dedicated to the 2015 Chile-America Cup hosted by renowned Uruguayan journalist Victor Hugo Morales and Argentinian journalist Matián Canillán.
02:04The program sought to offer an in-depth look at the tournament with a socio-political focus. Its objective was to highlight the impact of soccer in the region and the importance of Latin American integration through sports.
02:16During the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games, Telesur not only covered the competition but also focused on social tensions, economic contradictions during the government of Michel Temer and the complex Brazilian realities surrounding the event.
02:31In the America's Cup 2021, which was held in a surprising way in Brazil, El Golazo de América was the sports program that Telesur aired in that edition.
02:46Controversies about the venue, the sanitary protocols after the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks to public health were discussed in addition to the matches and the performance of the participating teams.
02:57Surda Infinita was the program of the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the unmistakable voice of Victor Hugo Morales, the contribution of Juan Pablo Sorin and an unwavering commitment to critical analysis and a Latin American vision offering a distinctive coverage of the greatest soccer event.
03:25Finally, Los Nuestros en París with Carlos Montero and Cuban sports legend Javier Sotomayor was Telesur's bet on the 2024 Olympic Games held in Paris, France, focused on the experience and performance of Latin American and Caribbean athletes with an in-depth analysis of the social and political aspects surrounding the event.
