Marton Gyulai took this opportunity, not only recalling the success story of the sporting event referred to as the “World Cup of Miracles”, paying special attention to the valuable legacy of the event that achieved billions of views, but also trying to draw attention to new challenges, the motto of which in the future may be “You have to be able to change”.
– All players in the world of sports should take into account that the radically changed geopolitical, economic and social situation requires more thoughtful steps than before from all member states – not just the EU – applying to host future world competitions. “The mistake is made by those who lay the foundations according to the schemes, without changing their budget, without seeking rational solutions in planning and implementation,” Marton Gyulai told the SzPress news service.
The 44-year-old sports diplomat believes that the sellability of global competitions should not be among the least important tasks even after belt-tightening, but that the IAAF must also play a role in managing this.
“It is among the ten most watched series in the world.”
– The changing world events and the difficulties that have recently been faced by large and powerful international sports organizations, for example, the WA, which unites 214 member states, cannot be ignored – continued Marton Gyulai. – Last year, Budapest set the bar very high by providing first-class facilities and flawlessly organized events, which prompted more than 400,000 spectators to buy tickets, so it boasted full stands, but the organization of the previous 37 events was also very popular. The credit also goes to the resounding success, and I would even say, the return of the invaluable nine-day show, as Netflix produced a wonderful TV movie about the Hungarian capital, the World Cup venues and its main characters, which the BP2023 series and the host country could not have received more publicity. Sprint Today it is among the ten most watched series in the world, and millions of people have watched all its parts so far, and with the Olympic Games approaching, this number will surely continue to grow.
Finally, Marton Gyulai also stated that “one must be able to change” is a motto that the IAAF should follow as well, which affects many areas of its work.
“We are looking at a solution to how to make the one-day competitions under the auspices of Western Australia more attractive and of higher quality, which includes the Diamond League or the continental tour venues, because there is no progress without renewal and strict monitoring. The Western Australian world ranking received a lot of criticism last year, and even more severe criticism this year with the Olympics approaching, during the quota period, so it is time to examine it and perhaps change some parts of the system,” confirmed the member of the world rankings.
