I may not be much of a sports fan in everyday life, but come the Olympics I’m practically an ESPN commentator. Diving, Equestrian, and Synchronized Swimming (a.k.a “Artistic Swimming”) are a few of my favorites, and I just started to get into Rugby this year as well. But Gymnastics is always the crown jewel in my Summer Games viewing, and I suspect I’m not alone.
Since I was struggling to find a viewing schedule that wasn’t either an elaborate interactive page or an SEO-filled behemoth, I figured I’d just make one myself. Here in the States, all of these events should air on both NBC and Peacock—which also has a great replay feature if you missed something in real-time. (You can watch qualification rounds for both the men’s and women’s team on there right now.)

And if you really want to get deep into the Olympics, over on Instagram I shared a chart I made breaking down which days every single sport competes, with medal events marked in gold.
Happy viewing!
WOW! I hope your subscribers know just what an incredible gift you’ve given us! I was so flummoxed about this I’ve resorted to doing what I think most folks do, which is just type “[event name]?” frantically into YouTube and hope for the best.
Thank you!!
I have enjoyed your columns for years at this point, but this schedule info and the chart you made really makes me feel like you're truly a kindred spirit. Thanks for pulling this together and sharing it!
