Infostrada Sports has signed new deals with Portugal, Turkey and Austria, with the trio of countries set to benefit from the company’s “Performance Manager Podium”.

The Netherlands-based firm, which is regarded as a market leader in high performance analysis, claims to offer the ultimate solution for the collection, analysis and presentation of data via its tool for International Federations and National Olympic Committees.

Eight out of the top 20 Olympic nations, in accordance with Infostrada's Rio 2016 virtual medal table, are said to use it every day in determining their sports policy.

Extended contracts with Australia, Japan, France, The Netherlands and Denmark have also been announced.

“We are continuing to customise our services to provide even better support,” said Guido Bouw, managing director of Infostrada Sports.

“Recent developments to the tool include increased functionality and the ability to predict the trajectory of an athlete's results.

“At the same time, we provide additional data packages that allow sports governing bodies to monitor Olympic sports at junior and youth level in addition to elite competitions.

“We can also deliver data on Paralympic and non-Olympic sports."

Last year, Infostrada Sports held its inaugural round-table conference in Berlin, in which Podium clients shared knowledge, discussed developments and exchanged ideas on best practices.

A second event is currently being organised for this autumn in order to further strengthen the network of high performance analysis.

“It is clear that more organisations are realising the importance of high performance analysis and the contribution our tool provides,” added Bouw.

“It is confirmation our quality data can be converted into sports intelligence.”

The Rio 2016 virtual medal table, which is based on top-class events around the globe, including World Championships and World Cup cycles, dating back to the previous Olympic Games, was published last month. 

The first of its kind was used in the build-up to London 2012, with The Times publishing a monthly update from the back end of 2010 right through to the Games.
