If you plan to catch all the big events during this historic three-week event, your telly isn’t going to cut it — especially when you’re at work. Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Olympics in Australia for free.

What Time Is The Rio Olympics On?

The Rio Olympics will hold its opening ceremony on the evening of 5 August, which works out to 7am (AEST) on August 6 in Australia. 17 days of sports coverage will then follow, with the Games rounding up on 21 August. (8am AEST on 22 August in Australia.)

Note that Rio is 13 hours behind Australia’s east coast capitals, 12.5 hours behind Adelaide and 11 hours behind Perth. You need to ensure you’re looking at a relevant Aussie timetable when organising your Olympics recordings and live viewings.

When it comes to scheduling events, your best bet is to stick with local sites that don’t use syndication, such as SBS and ABC Sports. Alternatively, you can set ‘Rio Reminders’ using Channel 7’s Olympic Games calendar application. The official Olympics app (see below) will also have rolling results and schedules relevant to Australia.

For the first time in Australia, you’ll be able to watch events in glorious HD via channel 70. To receive this, you’ll need access to a HD TV with an MPEG-4 encoder and be situated in a capital city. (Sorry rural sports fans.)

If you just want to see the highlights, Channel 7 will be running a nightly recap show at 7pm (AEST) on its main channel.

Again, Channel 7 is your best bet if you’re planning to stream the Olympics to a laptop, mobile or other connected devices. The broadcaster has launched a dedicated web app for streaming the Olympic Games.

For mobiles and tablets, you’re going to want the dedicated Olympics on 7 app which is available for iOS and Android devices. (You can download it here and here, respectively.)

The Olympics on 7 app is free and comes with 900 hours of Seven, 7TWO and 7mate Live simulcasts plus another 300 hours of additional Live sport. Serious sports fans can upgrade to the “premium” version of the app for $19.99. This provides access to more than 3000 hours of HD coverage spread across 36 channels, plus a Live News channel, catch up and replay options, medal tallies, photos and athlete profiles. That’s a lot of Olympics!

If you’re a Telstra Mobile customer, it’s possible to download the premium Olympics on 7 app for free. Our friends at OzBargain have the details.

Annoyingly, the app is not currently supported by Airplay or Chromecast, although 4th-gen AppleTV owners should be able to stream directly to their televisions. As Channel 7 owns all broadcasting rights, hooking up your device to a TV or monitor via HDMI shouldn’t be a problem, although we obviously haven’t had a chance to test this.

On a final note, unless you have a ridiculously generous data allowance, you’re going to want to do this over WiFi. We don’t want to know what a monthly bill for 900 hours of HD video streaming looks like.

How to watch the Olympics over a VPN

If you’d prefer to bypass Channel 7’s coverage for some reason, it’s possible to watch geo-blocked sports channels in other country by signing up to a VPN service provider. VanishedVPN’s newly launched “Sports VPN” is a pretty good bet — it provides reliable streams to the Olympic Games from established broadcasters with all geoblocks removed via extensive testing. You can find more information here.

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can also try you luck with various other VPN providers. Here’s a list of our top five VPNs for 2016. Bear in mind that some of these might be blocked by the sports channels you’re trying to access.

How to watch the 2016 Olympics in Virtual Reality

If you have a Samsung Gear VR headset, you’ll be able to watch portions of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games in virtual reality. Thanks to a partnership with Samsung, the Seven Network is beaming 100 hours of live and on demand VR content to compatible Samsung Galaxy phones as well as 360-degree videos.

RIO DE JANEIRO OLYMPICS 2016: ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil.- Artistic gymnastics is one of the exclusive sports that opened the Olympic Games in Athens the first edition of 1896 and during the first 32 years the share was exclusive of men. Amsterdam 1928 debuted in women, although it was not until the appointment of Helsinki 1952 when they began competing in each of the devices individually.

The Soviet Union was the great dominate of the sport until its demise after the 1992 Summer Olympics, where they competed under the IOC flag and under the name of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Soviet gymnasts won 25% of the medals in dispute, while Japan, the United States, China and Romania have been the other great powers.

Of course, since the Soviet break-up the amount of medals has spread among its former members, mostly Russia and Ukraine.

Japanese Sawao Kato is the top winner of gold medals in the history of artistic gymnastics in the Olympic Games. He won eight titles between 1968 and 1976, although the Soviet Nikolai Andrianov garnered 15 medals between 1972 and 1980 and exceeded the total.

In the ladies was the Soviet Larisa Latynina also the absolute queen. He won 18 medals, nine of them gold, between 1956 and 1964; Michael Phelps just surpasses the number of medals won by an athlete in the history of the games.

Although the harvest was not as prolific, Romanian Nadia Comaneci never be erased from the Olympic records gym after being the first athlete, regardless of sex, to get a perfect score: ten points. His performance on the uneven bars was just that, perfect.

WHAT DEVICES UP THE ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS?
Men and women compete in the individual competition (all-around) and team. They also share the jump and floor exercises. Men complete their six aircraft with the rings, pommel horse, sets the bar and parallel bars. Women have only two modes, the uneven bars and the balance beam.

The ideal way to start practicing gymnastics is between four and five years and in adolescence the peak of performance is achieved as it is when the body gets the best combination of strength, flexibility and coordination age. In the second decade of life, and this balance is far from optimal.

In addition to a strong athletic-engine component, artistic gymnastics also encompasses elegance, dexterity and acrobatics. Only those who seamlessly combine its entirety can reach the elite.

Artistic gymnastics is one of the most spectacular sports on the Olympic program, so much so that always takes place at the beginning of the game and never alongside swimming and athletics, the other two jewels of the summer festival.

HOW gymnasts qualify for RIO DE JANEIRO 2016
All participants must have been born before December 31, 2000 and each country may classify two athletes in each individual discipline and team competition groups. This classification was made by the results achieved in the 2015 World Championship and Olympic qualifying event held in the city of Rio de Janeiro in April 2016.

The International Olympic Committee also reserves a seat at best located on each continent and Brazil, as the host country, if they fail to include a representative in each test. In addition, a tripartite commission has the power to invite an athlete in each gender. Places are not registered so that each national federation has the right to send to a particular athlete even if not that who got the qualification.

At the World Championships in Stuttgart last year there was an undisputed queen among the ladies, Simone Biles American, winner of four gold medals, ie 67% of the gold medals in dispute. I won the all-around, as a member of the winning team, plus exercises on the floor and balance beam.

In the uneven bars there was an unusual event, four gymnasts were rated with the same highest score and so many gold medals were awarded, but no silver or bronze.

Among men, there was no such absolute domain of an athlete. Japan won the team competition, Kohei Uchimura while won the gold medal in the all-around and on the horizontal bar.

Classifying Olympics at 40 years is a feat, but to do so in the women ’s gymnastics and is something from another planet. For this it is what has made the Uzbek Oksana Chusovitina and will become the longest Olympic gymnast in history. Chusovitina has a son of 16 year olds, the same approximate age of his rivals in Rio de Janeiro 2016 ! Perfectly all other athletes can call “Mom.” Even at Rio, its seventh games come with 41 years as the will meet in June.

Chusovitina participate in the all-around after having surrendered a very acceptable job in the qualifying event held in the same Brazilian city that will host the games in August. His best device, jump, he sealed the passage.

This living legend of artistic gymnastics Olympic champion was crowned in 1992 with the CIS in the team tournament. He then participated with Uzbekistan in Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, with Germany in Beijing 2008 and London 2012 and now will do so under the Uzbek flag.

This constant change of nationality has not been random. His son was diagnosed with leukemia three years and moved to Germany for medical care. “Chuso” had retired from the sport, but returned to compete to earn some money to pay medical expenses of treatment.

Another no less important detail gymnastics Rio de Janeiro in 2016 is one of the historical of the sport, Romania, did not qualify his women’s team

Anti-Doping Agency seeks exclusion of Russia from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Anti-Doping Agency seeks exclusion of Russia from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games..

The Executive Committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recommended to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to consider denying the participation of all athletes submitted to the Russian Olympic Committee. The recommendation also applies to the Russians disabled athletes linked to its respective committee. Wada also suggests that access to Russian government officials to Rio 2016 is denied.

The recommendations were made after the release of a report signed by Professor Richard McLaren. He was appointed by the agency to conduct the investigation based on the allegations of the former director of the Moscow Laboratory, Grigory Rodchenkov on tampering with doping tests to mask the use of substances prohibited by Wada.

In the report, McLaren cites the exchange of samples as a method to hide doping athletes. Samples “clean” were used in place of urine collected from doped athletes. According to investigations, DNA tests showed three samples incompatible with the corresponding athletes.

McLaren also cites another way to circumvent the anti-doping tests, the “positive disappearance methodology”. That’s how he calls the practice of camouflage, in laboratory stage, results of athletes who have not benefited from other fraudulent practices in the early stages, as the sample collection or transport process.

The report states that fraud in anti-doping tests were put in place by the end of 2011 until August 2015 in Russia. In addition, says Russian athletes “a vast majority of summer and winter sports” were benefited by the “methodology of positive disappearance”.

McLaren also says that there was participation of members of the Russian government in the scheme. The Minister of Sport of Russia, as well as government agencies such as the FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia, which replaced the former KGB); and CSP (Training Center Sports for Athletes Russians) were also involved. In addition, McLaren said Russian authorities were aware of the practice by athletes participating in the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a statement saying it will make a meeting tomorrow (19), by teleconference, “to take the first decisions” about the allegations exposed by Wada. This meeting may leave the first steps to ensure the smooth progress of the Rio 2016 Games.

The IOC President Thomas Bach, also spoke. He called the episode “a shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and the Olympic Games” and said the Olympic Committee “will not hesitate to apply the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organization involved.”

Putin comes to politicization of sport

Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized what he called a dangerous resurgence “of politics interfering in the sport.” He said that all leaders accused of involvement in a doping scandal have been suspended from their positions until the investigations are completed.

Rio 2016

In a statement, the Rio 2016 Committee said he supports “the IOC’s zero-tolerance policy towards athletes who seek to cheat through doping” and has “a firm commitment to protect clean athletes. They are the best examples for future generations. We will work hard with the IOC and our partners in our obsession to provide clean Games, delivering full efforts to present the games that Brazilian society and deserves to be inaugurated on August 5 with a magical celebration of sport and transformation. ”

Olympic Games in Brazil, a country with open arms to the world

Olympic Games in Brazil, a country with open arms to the world...

Missing a month for the start of the largest in the world and Brazil can safely say sporting event: we are completely ready to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be the first held in South America. It was inaugurated the Olympic Village, which will host most of the 17,000 athletes who will participate in one of the most beautiful scenery in Rio de Janeiro. Sports facilities, especially the Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca, also have already been delivered.

The country prepared a solid security program, which will have 85,000 professionals from different forces of federal, state and municipal government to ensure that the sports festival takes place in an atmosphere of total tranquility and peace. That force will act in an integrated manner to ensure the protection of athletes, technical committees, heads of state, authorities, tourists, residents and journalists.

It will not be the first time we show the world our capacity to organize and secure and welcoming visitors reception. In recent years, the country has accumulated experience in mega events of international level. We were hosting the World Cup, the Pan American Games, the military, the World Youth Day Confederations Cup and World Games. All achieved a resounding success, executed with excellence, responsibility and the joy of Brazilians own. We repeat that success once again.

ames show a nation with a consolidated democracy and one of the major economies The Games will show the world a nation consolidated and one of the major global economies democracy. A country with great potential for business and policy regarding reduction of inequality. Rio de Janeiro will receive hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists during the Games. The other five cities Football -San Pablo, Salvador, Manaus, Brasilia and Belo Horizonte will also be filled with Brazilian and foreign fans. Hosting an event of this magnitude is a great achievement of the Brazilian people and a source of national pride. Importantly, 60% of investments in facilities, totaling 7.070 billion reais, are financed by the private sector. And the resources and applied effort will leave a legacy for the whole country.

First, the Games spread throughout Brazil the values of sport: cooperation, solidarity, discipline and improvement. In more concrete level, they also leave a legacy for Brazilian national training network with excellent facilities in the five regions of the country aimed at both sports initiation and the high performance.

We can guarantee that the risk of occurrence of cases of Zika virus is virtually nonexistent In Rio de Janeiro, the Games have had a major impact on the implementation of public policies. The implementation of various infrastructure projects and mobility in the city was accelerated, extended or made possible by the fact host the event. The direct benefit to have those actions on the quality of life of the inhabitants is evident.

In recent weeks, they spread throughout the world the possibility of occurrence of outbreaks of tropical diseases during the competition. We can guarantee, as has the World Health Organization, which is practically nonexistent risk that Zika virus cases occur during the Games. Winter in the southern hemisphere historically very low rates recorded by Aedes aegypti-borne diseases. Zika cases have decreased dramatically in recent weeks in Brazil and Rio. I remember in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, when 1,400,000 foreign visitors came to Brazil, there was a forecast of epidemic that never was recorded. The health area will have a favorable environment for tourists during the Games.

Brazil is ready to welcome all visitors who will have the pleasure to closely follow the competitions that bring together the elite international athletes. And surely we will have a lot to show to the 5,000 million people who will see the Games around the world. Brazil is waiting with open arms.
