Prioritize your viewing schedule

Therefore, you need to prioritize your viewing schedule so you don’t miss out on your favorite sports.

For example, if you’re a fan of women’s gymnastics, it kicks off on July 24th.

Follow your favorite athletes on Instagram

The Olympics is important to the fans. Ultimately, though, it means the most to the athletes who have trained day and night for four years – talk about pressure.

Simone Biles (USA gymnastics hero) and Aomi Osaka (Japan’s best hope of winning at the tennis) are just some of the star names that will be there. So, make sure to follow your favorites on Instagram to get instant updates on their preparations and progress. Plus, you’ll get an insight into the daily lives of elite-level athletes – and can even send them messages of love and support.

Prepare your viewing setup

If you’re watching the Olympics from your home, it’s a good idea to make sure you have the perfect viewing setup before the July 23rd start date.

The crowds are always incredible at the games, so sound is super important. It’s recommended that you invest in a surround sound speaker system to pick up on all the sounds, from crowd chants to the cheers of joy from the athletes.

You should also invest in a high-quality TV so that you are fully immersed in the thrills and spills that take place.
