Almanac does the research your team would otherwise do between races, and hands it over in a form you can put straight on screen or on air.
Results from 1933 to today: Olympics, World Championships, continental championships, World Cups and more. Every round, every lane, every crew.
Records, streaks, defending champions, rivalries and milestones, computed ahead of time and ranked by how much they matter, from 0 to 1.
Each fact arrives as structured data plus a ready-to-read line, with its source and caveats, so nothing goes out that you can’t stand behind.
Ask for any race and Almanac briefs you lane by lane: personal and season bests, medals at this level, previous meetings within the field, the defending champion and the fastest time in the archive. When the result lands, the storylines are waiting.
