August 05 2016 , 5 min reading time

With the Olympics in Rio upon us we have written a round up of the events and the Team GB athletes you should keep an eye out for and when...naturally with the time difference some are in the middle of the night so you may want to set record on your tv box for some of these! Most of the events listed are the finals or the medal events for those sports, so wishing all of Team GB good luck in getting there! We have separated these out by sport so you can narrow in on the events you like to watch the most. We have also added names in blue who we are confident will come home with medal this year...
