Golden triangle definition
the relationship between elite sport, sponsorship and media
Example of a sports team for golden triangle
Chelsea
Example of a media platform for golden triangle
sky sports
Example of sponsorship for golden triangle
Three
advantages of golden triangle
- sports gaining media coverage will gain more sponsorship which can benefit athletes
- Sports gaining media coverage and sponsorship can increase funding to develop participation/facilities/elite performers
- media pressure may lead to rule changes to make sport more entertaining e.g. the 100

- Sponsorship disproportionately benefits athletes in sports which the media is more interested e.g. mob football
- lack of media interest in some sports reduced sponsorship and funding
- media funding increases the pressure to win at all costs or get sponsorship so can damage integrity of games
