Official website with the most comprehensive schedule. The schedule here has events grouped together in sessional chunks to prevent it from becoming excessively long. The listed end times are estimates I created based on event lengths from previous Olympics and my knowledge of the sports, and may not be 100% accurate (they also try to account for medal ceremonies at the end).
For more information about each sport, you can check the Olympics’ official primers here.
/u/CTIDmississippi has also created a comprehensive Google spreadsheet here with built-in time zone conversions.
/u/skymasterson2016 has created a list of today’s medal events here.
In addition, the mods highly encourage you to read the following posts:
/u/ManOfManyWeis has written previews sport by sport, which can be found here.
/u/ContinuumGuy has written a comprehensive preview of today’s medal chances here. Please note that this is a work in progress which will be updated during the day.
###Daily Schedule See here.
###General Housekeeping
Since there’ll often be multiple events running simultaneously, it’s helpful to identify which sport you’re watching (if it’s not obvious from the context). You can create a header by entering four spaces then typing the name of the sport.
The mods strongly request that you flair up with the new flair system if you haven’t already. They put a great deal of work into it during the offseason. If you don’t want to reveal your country, it’s fine to choose the neutral Olympic rings flag. For instructions on how to add a flair, please check here.
Finally, I’m not a mod of r/Olympics so I won’t be able to help with things like removing comments, sorting the thread by new, etc.
###Frequently Asked Questions
For those asking what’s in the box that the athletes are awarded on the podium: according to L’Equipe, it contains a limited edition poster of the Paris Olympics and a Phryge plush toy.
Looking at the dominant performance in the 400 relay, are there any doping allegations?
cant beat the wizard
Breaking
Fuck the haters. You iterate this discipline a bit and I promise this will become one of the more popular sports amongst casuals during the Olympics.
ngl i like watching breaking, just i don’t understand scoring like that 😭😭😭
Women’s 1500
Great job Jess
Breaking
Shigekix is so good
1500m
Ok. Why is it the 1500m, given 1600m is roughly equivalent to a mile?
Uzbekistan sneaking up the medal table due to their fantastic combat athletes.
When is the girls marathon? I wanna see some passing out and throwing up
World class
The first Ethiopian was a decoy for her teammate but that was a mad race. Gutted for Laura but I don’t think she expected them to keep that pace up and great result for Georgia Bell.
Why do the Ethiopians continue to do the same thing race after race?
W 1500m
Grats to Kenya! Also, was that a silver from Australia?!?! Way to go! Congratulations!
Watching breaking without hearing the music well is like trying to watch basketball without sneaker squeaks.
You wouldn’t even know Georgia Bell was even in that race from the BBC commentators and then she pinched a medal :D Iron lungs.
