Rogers Communications Inc. (NYSE:RCI), along with Sportsnet and the University of Waterloo, has announced the launch of the Sportsnet Hockey Hack: Powered by Rogers 5G. According to the press release, this "virtual hackathon offers a unique opportunity for students to design applications to enhance the fan experience for Sportsnet viewers, using Rogers's 5G technology and data from the NHL's Puck and Player Tracking system during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs." Bart Yabsley, President, Sportsnet, commented:
"The next generation of sports fans will engage with and experience our broadcasts in ways we can't even imagine today. As Sportsnet continues to be a leader in sports technology innovation, we are excited to work with some of Canada's top young minds at the University of Waterloo to discover how Rogers 5G technology can change the way millions of NHL fans watch and engage with the sport."
Ammunition and munition components manufacturer AMMO, Inc. (OTC:POWW) has reported its fiscal second quarter financial results. Highlights include a total revenue increase from the first quarter of 307 percent, up to $12 million from $2.9 million. The company's CEO, Fred Wagenhals, said:
"The demand momentum experienced at the end of fiscal year 2020 has certainly continued to accelerate for fiscal 2021. We continue to make further progress with the manufacturing capabilities, infrastructure and capacity improvements deployed in fiscal year 2020 and 2021. As a result, we achieved our first ever quarter of adjusted EBITDA profitability during the second quarter."
Next Year’s Tokyo Olympics Attendees Will Be Encouraged to Be Vaccinated, and Djokovic Wins Sixth ATP Tour No. 1 Trophy
The Associated Press reports that attendees of the Tokyo Olympics - which has been postponed to open July 23 of next year - will be "encouraged to be vaccinated to protect the Japanese public." This was announced by IOC President Thomas Bach, after he met with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga during a campaign across Tokyo.
"In order to protect the Japanese people and out of respect for the Japanese people, the IOC will undertake great effort so that as many (people) as possible - Olympic participants and visitors will arrive here (with a) vaccine, if by then a vaccine is available."
According to the report, Japan has, until recently, had its borders closed, "and has almost 100% mask-wearing by the public."
Novak Djokovic received his sixth ATP Tour No. 1 trophy on Sunday at the Nitto ATP Finals, according to the ATP Tour website. This ties Djokovic with his "childhood hero" Pete Sampras who took the honour six straight years from 1993 to 1998. Djokovic told ATPTour:
"I'm very happy. It's been a strange year for all of us with a six months' gap for all of us. We restarted the season in August, and I continued where I left off before lockdown and had a terrific run. I'm very pleased with the way things went.
I have to say a huge thank you to my team for supporting me in the hard time and trusting me. This is the crown for all achievements in the year and it's unreal that I've managed to finish the year at No. 1 for a sixth time.
Obviously I am super proud of it, but I have mixed emotions because of what is going on in the world. I can't be ignorant to that, although I have achieved one of the biggest goals in sport. I feel for many people in the world going through hardship and my heart goes out to them."
