Sky Sports and HPE team up to analyse biggest sporting events

Sky Sports and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have partnered to analyse the biggest sporting events and talking points across the British summer on our digital platforms.

Every week, we'll be publishing a fresh piece of data journalism that looks to give you more insight, understanding and opinion on the moments that matter most.

Data analysis has grown in sport over the past decade, helping athletes assess their performances and aiding fans in their understanding of the games they love.

Across the next 12 weeks, through a mix of written pieces and infographics, we'll be delving into the data side of the world's top sporting competitions.

From analysing how the world's top golfers fare in different conditions prior to The 145th Open live on Sky Sports, to unpicking what we can expect from the newest players to the Premier League.

We'll also be comparing the performance of Team GB in Rio vs London four years ago, determining through data who should make the starting XV for the Lions and reviewing England's summer of cricket to establish where and why we play at our best.

Equally, through live, interactive data visualisation pieces, we'll be taking a deeper dive into the start of the 2016/17 Premier League season, analysing the impact of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte at their new clubs.

We'll also be following the Ryder Cup as it happens, using live statistical info to show you how the tournament is unfolding.

David Gibbs, director of Sky Sports Digital Media said: "We're delighted to be in partnership with HPE, covering the biggest sporting events this summer.

"Data is increasingly a vital part in how we consume and analyse sport. Our editorial team is excited to have the opportunity to explore this further through the 14-part data series.

"It's fantastic to have HPE, a world leader in data solutions, in support."
