Passion for Sport will be producing radio material for its two weekly programmes, Planet Sport and Planet Sport Football Africa heard on more than 70 stations in 20 countries. 

The team will also be serving media clients across the world including the UK's Premier Radio, based in London.

Marcus Jones is Premier's Group head of news: "Premier is delighted to be linking up, once again, with Passion for Sport to deliver content from a Christian perspective from the biggest sporting event of the year.

"We look forward to hearing from athletes taking part and churches getting involved in their communities as well as regularly crossing over to Rio for the latest updates."

Meanwhile Spanish language reporter Pedro Pablo Arias will be serving radio stations in Europe and across the American continent, as he has since first reporting from the Olympics at Barcelona in 1992.

Team leader Norman Brierley said: "We are passionate about sport and passionate about Jesus. We want sports fans to capture the excitement of the Olympic Games and hear stories from athletes and others in Rio about the change that Jesus has brought to their lives."
