Rio Olympics 2016: The Full Events Schedule

The 2016 Rio Olympic Games kicks off tomorrow. Naturally, many of the Olympic sports you want to watch live will be airing when you’re at work. That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the action though. Preparation is key here. We have put together the full schedule of the 2016 Rio Olympics that will be broadcasted on Channel 7 and methods you can use to sneakily stream the events at work. We’ve also included specific broadcast times for the sporting events Australia loves most.

Watching 2016 Rio Olympics At Work

We’ve already gone through the number of different options you have to watch the Olympics here.

Besides broadcasting the events on free-to-air TV, Channel 7 is also streaming content through its dedicated Olympics website and mobile app (for iOS and Android)

If you’re lucky enough to have a TV in your office common area and you use a laptop, you might be able to get away with sitting in front of the screen while you work. Chances are, a handful of co-workers will also have the same idea; safety in number, natch.

If your workplace is strict about this kind of thing, streaming it on your computer is your best bet. When somebody walk past your desk, there are a few ways you can hide your browser in a flash, which you can find in one of our previous articles.

Those of you who are working out in the field, the mobile app is your best bet, just be careful not to go past your data cap. Streaming is a data intensive activity and you don’t want to be paying through the nose for excess data charges.
