FIG YouTube channel
During the 44th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Antwerp (BEL), the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has surpassed 20 million views on its YouTube channel, a figure that is rising rapidly on a daily basis. On 30 September alone, the channel attracted 233,844 viewers, their interest sparked largely by the extraordinary Floor routine performed by Japan’s Kenzo Shirai in Antwerp.

Both organizations are doing an excellent job of online video. As is GBR.
