With the end of Copa America and the Eurocup, and the Olympics starting soon, sports are on everyone’s mind this Summer.

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Nick Sprague, co-owner of sports biotech and data science leader Orreco, to sort out the intricacies of the sports industry. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic discusses women in sports, in both the developing world and wealthy countries, as well as the challenges, changes, and future opportunities they face.
