Just checked

Olympics seems to be on BBC , Discovery+
, EuroSport 1 , EuroSport 2 .

Maybe some other channels ?

How bloody confusing !!!!

Hopefully there’s a guide somewhere to explaining exactly what event is on what channel !

How do I find more of the Olympic Games?

Discovery+ and Eurosport requires a subscription. You can find more information here.

Still think its madness that we’re having the opening ceremony later on today yet hundreds/thousands of competitors have apparently already left for home and will miss out on all the pomp and ceremony !!



Also why are only 8,000 athletes making the trip down the river in the opening ceremony when there are nearly 12,000 still in the Olympic village waiting to compete ?

Who chooses and how ??

So many questions

Will watch as much of the actual Olympics as possible though.
