Eurosport's free iPhone app celebrates first birthday

The free app, boasting more LIVE sports content than any other sports app in Europe, has been downloaded 2,518,432 times (and counting!) since its launch last year. 

The app leverages Eurosport.com's renowned editorial expertise and online excellence, featuring real-time text commentary, live results, breaking sports news, stats, standings and fixtures.

It is the only sports application available in 9 different language versions, plus an international version available in any country in the world, and has been a resounding success, topping download lists in France, Germany, Italy and the UK.

Laurent-Eric Le Lay, Eurosport Chairman and CEO, said: "Eurosport innovates to provide quality content across all media devices, and mobile is the perfect way to enjoy, share and experience sports news and events. Any first birthday is always a very special time and, together with the 2.5 million downloads, it is proof that we are delivering the global sports fans what he wants, when he wants it and where he wants it."

Arnaud Maillard, Eurosport's New Media Director, added: "This is a life-cycle, and though today we celebrate the free app's first birthday we will continue to innovate and grow our diverse online and mobile offering for the iPhone and iPad." 

Not forgetting the iPad ... Since its launch in May of this year, the Europsort.com for iPad sports app, has been downloaded over 118,000 times in two months, making it the most popular iPad sports app across Europe.
