On this special bonus episode of the Bloomberg Business of Sports, host Vanessa Perdomo-Maglione ventured to Cannes, France for the Cannes Lion festival where she moderated a panel at Stagwell’s Sport Beach about how smaller sports build culture moments. The sports that shape taste, drive fashion, and influence what's cool rarely start at the center. They start at the edges, built by athletes who are as much creators and cultural figures as they are competitors. This panel explores how niche sports earn their way into the mainstream — and how the athletes who carry them there become the taste makers, style icons, and brand partners that marquee sports can only try to replicate.
