Abstract
This paper analyses how different configurations of stakeholders create opportunities for the production of popular TV sports contests. Based on qualitative methodologies, biathlon and cross-country skiing are compared. The paper concludes that the relative success of the International Biathlon Union is due to a favourable network position in relation to stakeholders. By comparison, the International Ski Federation suffers a weak position within a dense stakeholder network.

If you are a sports professional and would like to promote yourself or build a network we recommend going straight to professional registration. However, if you are in a hurry you can come back to this later.
