Seven46 takes its sport seriously.
We were all over the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver where we wrote a presentation script for the Rio 2016 delegation.

We had football’s European Championships, the Ryder Cup, a Brit winning Formula 1 and, of course, the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It was the armchair fan’s perfect year.
