Olympic Channel Brings The Games To Life With VR Series Trending Gold

When we sit down every two years to watch the Olympics, we see the finished product. Lost among the gold, silver and bronze can be the 365-day training regimens that these athletes follow. Thanks to the Olympic Channel‘s new series, Trending Gold (produced by Jaunt), viewers will develop a greater appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work.

What makes Trending Gold special is the fact that it is filmed entirely in 360-degree virtual reality. Why exactly 100 percent VR?

“We wanted to provide viewers both the access and first-hand experience of what it means to be an Olympian,” Nicolas Delloye, Commissioning Editor for the Olympic Channel, said in an interview with Jaunt.
