ERC24 learned from the USA today that ESPN has announced to drop its X Games events in Europe (Tignes, Barcelona and Munich) as well as in Brazil (Foz do Iguaçu) to concentrate on the events in the United States. A statement of ESPN reads: “We are proud to have run world-class competitions for both the athletes and spectators; however, the overall economics of these events do not provide a sustainable future path. The company remains fully committed to the X Games brand and its full-scale competitions in Aspen, Colorado and Austin, Texas – its newest host city – and we will continue to distribute these premier events around the world.”
