Realtor heads to Tokyo for Olympic adventure

As if selling homes in a super-charged market wasn’t enough to keep West Bradenton Realtor Leah Secondo busy, she’s now taking on another high-pressure task: broadcasting events at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

The Olympic Broadcasting Services, a Spain-based production company that provides television coverage to more than 200 countries, hired Secondo, a Michael Saunders & Co. agent with a varied career in sports journalism. In the early rounds of the Olympics, which run from July 23 through Aug. 8, she will call games for softball, women’s basketball and 3-on-3 women’s basketball. For the medal rounds, according to a statement, she will move into an analyst role. “I know many sports and have broadcasted a variety as well,” Secondo says in the release.
