Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal said advertising revenue for the Paris Olympics and Paralympics surpassed the record $1.25 billion sold for the Tokyo 2020 Games.

Strong ratings have translated into greater demand for the unsold inventory that NBC brought into the Games, which run through Aug. 11, a person with knowledge of the matter said. The network previously announced $1.2 billion in sales. It didn’t give a precise new total Tuesday.
