Abstract: A method for simultaneous depiction of at least two temporally sequential events, particularly sports events in the form of racing or jumping, on adjoining picture surfaces such as of at least one picture screen, with at least sections of the events being stored, via a video device, in at least one picture memory. Thus sports events of the type described above can be organized in a more interesting and expressive manner for television viewers, and sportspersons and managers are given the possibility of comparing, as soon and as exactly as possible, individual races and jumps, etc. This is achieved by showing simultaneously with the direct showing and/or broadcasting of the live event at least one additional event of the same type, which is pre-stored in the picture memory, synchronously and/or spatially in parallel with the live event.
