Vinco has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 2010, and we pride ourselves on providing unrivalled athletic media content – from high-quality event coverage to in-depth analysis and exclusive scoops. Vinco has always been the place to come for the very best athletic sports news, commentary, and insight.
What started out as an athlete’s enthusiastic hobby, over a decade ago, Vinco has grown into a global company producing content for clients including World Athletics and the Wanda Diamond League.
Founder of Vinco, Matthew Quine describes how the idea for Vinco came about: “I asked for a camera for my 21st birthday to use for my own training, and then found myself on the side-lines as an injured athlete. I wanted to watch my training partners but wasn’t content with just sitting there and doing nothing.”
“I started filming their races, uploading them and decided to make a website so they could watch them back. From there, the website grew and grew beyond what I had anticipated, given that I was doing it to keep myself busy whilst the group were out on the track.”
As Vinco grew, so did the team that brings you the inside line on athletics with their behind-the-scenes knowledge and expertise in live streaming and content production. The team are an essential part of the future of Vinco to keep up with demand and capture the level of streaming that you the viewer expect.
We’re proud of what we as a team have achieved since we started out. Alumni have gone on to be very successful with current roles at World Athletics, Sky Sports, UK Athletics, the BBC and Sunset+Vine to name a few. We want to be able to invest more in the and create more jobs and opportunities within track and field, the sport that we all love.
Vinco’s free-to-view subscriber base has grown exponentially since our inauguration, nonetheless, our OTT platform remains a non-profit making venture-supported by our work elsewhere, but being part of the RunnerSpace +PLUS platform is a huge step towards being able to bring a wider range of coverage to to fans in the UK.
Loughborough International Athletics on Sunday 21 May will be the first event shown by Vinco on +PLUS, with the prestigious Meeting Nikaia in Nice, France being aired in June, the National Athletics League Premiership and the British Milers Club Grand Prix circuit joining it later this year. As well as content in Europe, you’ll also be able to watch over 100 other live events each year in North America from USATF.TV, RunnerSpace, DyeStat, AthleticsCanada.tv, ArmoryTrack, JDLFastTrack and many more.
Rest assured, access to Vinco’s free-to-view archives and 2022 National Athletics League subscription will continue to be available to our loyal fanbase via archive.vincosport.com.
In time, we will work with our partners and team to invest in the coverage that falls behind +PLUS, bringing more live access and premium on-demand content for a minimal fee is something we believe our loyal fanbase and fellow fans will enjoy – we know you want more and we’re beyond grateful for your continued support.
As Quine exclaims, “We are very proud of what we have done to highlight and celebrate grassroots athletics, as well as to provide work for those eager to develop their careers within the sport. We see this change as central to our bid to do this even better whilst also delivering even more content to fans”.
“We are thrilled to join forces with VINCO to instantly expand our coverage and live broadcast schedule internationally under the expert guidance of Matt Quine,” noted RunnerSpace CEO Ross Krempley.
