SportWeek

SportWeek (often abbreviated SW) is an Italian weekly sports magazine that is distributed as a Saturday supplement to the daily newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. It was first published on 12 February 2000, replacing the previous Saturday supplement La Gazzetta dello Sport Magazine (GM), which had been launched on 28 October 1995. The inaugural issue was edited by Franco Bonera and featured Brazilian footballer Ronaldo on the cover; the launch was driven by Candido Cannavò, then editor of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Since March 2012, SportWeek has been available for purchase throughout the week independently, without the requirement to buy the daily newspaper. While primarily focused on sports, the magazine has evolved over the years with various graphic and stylistic changes and includes columns on cultural and media topics as well as lifestyle and medical subjects. In addition to its regular issues, SportWeek has undertaken other initiatives, such as collaborating with the television channel DMAX from 2 December 2012 to 6 January 2013 to produce Campioni Sempre, a documentary series curated by Matteo Dore (editor of the magazine) featuring monographs on athletes such as Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Serena and Venus Williams, and Ian Thorpe. The magazine is part of the La Gazzetta dello Sport brand family under RCS MediaGroup.
