The 2026 French Swimming Championships came to a close in Saint-Étienne after six days of competition marked by exceptionally high-level performances. This edition, which was decisive for qualifying for the European Championships, brought together the best French swimmers in an intense atmosphere where every officiating decision carried particular weight.
On this occasion, VOGO supported the French Swimming Federation by providing its solutions for video officiating and official communication. Thanks to VOGOSPORT, the video assistance platform developed by VOGO, and the VOKKERO audio communication systems, referees and judges were able to collaborate effectively throughout the events to ensure quick, accurate, and fair decisions.
Video Refereeing Tailored for Swimming Competitions
In a sport where the difference between winning and losing is sometimes a hundredth of a second, the reliability of referees’ decisions is essential. Video technology allows officials to quickly review situations that require verification and to base their decisions on high-quality footage.
The VOGOSPORT solution offers an intuitive interface, instant slow-motion replays, and features specifically designed to meet the demands of sports competitions. It helps enhance the transparency of decisions and preserve the integrity of competitions.
Instant communication with VOKKERO
In addition to video assistance, VOKKERO’s audio solutions enable officials to communicate in real time, without interruption. This seamless communication facilitates coordination among the various referees and competition officials, while speeding up decision-making.
Designed for demanding sports environments, VOKKERO systems offer optimal audio quality, ease of use, and proven reliability at major international sporting events.
