More Than 35 London Olympians Confirmed for the #NTL2013 Series LIVE on Flotrack
Athletics Canada’s National Track League (NTL) announced today the return of LIVE series coverage on FloTrack.  As part of the partnership the sport specialized streaming provider will offer LIVE streaming coverage of all five NTL2013 competitions including pre and post interviews as well as on demand archived footage.  More than thirty five 2012 Olympians have already been confirmed for the series with more athlete announcements in the coming weeks.

"Flotrack is proud to partner with the NTL again in 2013. The series continues to get better and we are excited to be a part of its continued growth," said Mark Floreani, Flocasts Co-Founder and CMO.  FloTrack will also support 2013NTL through a landing page on its website and email alerts to its substantial subscriber base.

“The partnership with FloTrack has been great, we’re really happy to be extending it to NTL2013,” said Mathieu Gentès, Athletics Canada Director of Public Relations and Corporate Services.  He adds, “We have large ambitions for the role the series plays in supporting our strategic objectives in terms of domestic competitions, athlete development, general public awareness and overall growth.  If we’re going to achieve any of these we must first deliver a quality product to our community, FloTrack helps us achieve that goal.”
