Judo Grand Slam Part 1: From Tatami to Television

What does it take to broadcast one of the most-watched Olympic level sports across the world?

This time on the Satellite Stories podcast, we go behind the scenes of the 2026 Judo Grand Slam in Paris.

SES and the International Judo Federation have been working in partnership for 15 years.

So to celebrate this milestone, we’re exploring what the relationship entails, and meeting some of the team - on both the IJF and SES side - to find out the journey from the tatami in the arena to the television screen in your living room…

Featuring:

Michele Gosetti, VP of sales for SES sports and events

Julia Resnik, head of sales operation and project management for SES sports and events

Thank you to IJF for archive and interview footage.
