if you mean apps with results, rankings and news, well, I don't use any...I rather go with normal websites.

 

if you mean apps to watch sport events on TV comfortably lying on the couch, well the list is quite long (normally, I'm using android TV apps and apple tv apps).

 

I have almost every OTT service you can imagine: MLB.tv (baseball), ESPN Player (NHL hockey, NCAA sports), NFL GamePass, NBA League Pass, Discovery Plus and of course all those free apps where I can find some sport events I'm interested in (from Youtube to the Olympic Channel to most National TV apps -thanks to a good VPN, obviously).

 

and sometimes I add a few more when it comes to the climax of certain competitions (namely, the Korean and Japanese IPTV service to watch their baseball champs playoffs).

 

not to mention, 2 or 3 satellite TV subs, too.

 

I'm a bit sick, I must admit...:facepalm: :hairpull:

Eurosport Player for a few more days, and sometimes Viaplay when I can't watch on TV or computer :p 

 

But both are just to watch stuff, other than that...nothing.

it depends on which event I want to follow, however those I use more than others are SVT Sweden, NOS Netherlands, RTVE Play (Spain).

 

then the Swiss TV, ARD/ZDF (Germany) and BBC/ITV (GBR) are always useful as well, but personally I have those channels on satellite TV, so I rarely use them online.

Polish TVP Sport app is useful sometimes as well

I believe this will be the third major US film (this decade) featuring athletes from the 1936 Olympics after Race and Unbroken.

Hey guys/gals, I thought we could share here good websites from each country that follow Olympic sports in a more local level.

 

Places where olympic athletes, sports, results, national leagues and politics are covered in depth.

 

I will start with 

 

:BRABrazil

Olimpíada Todo DiaThe main website that covers Olympic sports (I may be biased because I write for it :lol:). Created after the Rio 2016 Olympics (could it be a legacy then? lol). The main focus is Brazilian (olympic) sports in all levels. Besides the website it is particularly strong on instagram and tiktok.
 

Surto Olímpico - Created in 2011, the first of its sort. Besides the website, it has a very strong presence on Twitter. Covers mostly elite sports, both in Brazil and international. ps: also biased, as I worked there from 19 to 21.
 

Globo Esporte (GE.com)From Grupo Globo, the main media conglomarate in Brazil. It covers all sports, and don't necessarily focus on Brazilian sports, but they have an Olympic page. One of the columnists, Guilherme Costa, has a blog focused on Olympic qualification and also an "Olympic thermometer". He is also strong on twitter.
 

UOL Esporte- As Globo, it covers sports in general. Its Olympic staff produces specials from time to time (like this incredible piece on Daniele Hypolito by Beatriz Cesarini) and also it's home to the columnist Demétrio Vecchioli, who writes for Olhar Olímpico also with a strong presence on Twitter -, notorious for his focus on Sports politics.

 

Besides those websites (sorry if I'm forgetting someone), Os Olímpicos by Saulo Próspero and Marcio Melo famously cover Olympic qualification from start ot finish. Chapolins Brasileiros is a twitter and instagram account by the best organized fanclub for olympic sports in Brazil. They travel around the world since the 2011 pan American Games.

 

Most recently, Piu Esportes also started as a strong twitter account and now is moving towards general media, with a youtube channel.

 

Also worthy of mention is Brazilian Olympic Committee, with a speedy presence on social media through its trademark Time Brasil, specially twitter and instagram - obviously only highlighting the positive side of Brazilian sports.

 

If you understands well Portuguese or wants to learn, the best way is to hear Rumo ao Pódio with Globo Esporte's journalists Guilherme Costa, Marcel Merguizzo and Giovana Pinheiro. Duplo Twist Hablado is a fantastic podcast devoted to Gymnastics, and is also very active on twitter. And Surto Olímpico and Olimpíada Todo Dia also have spotify profiles and Time Brasil on Youtube.

 

Speaking of specific sports, Tênis Brasil and Best Swimming are absolutely the best. The latter is headed by Coach Alex Pussieldi, with a very active presence on twitter and instagram. On Brazilian volleyball, be in clubs or national team, a good option is Portal Vôlei, active on twitter and instagram.


For Winter Games, Brasil Zero Grau by Gustavo Longo is the main source of information and analysis.

 

 

For academics, I recommend to follow the work of Grupo de Estudos Olímpicos (GEO) by USP - University of São Paulowho releases biannualy the Olimpianos, the Journal of Olympic Studies - with articles in English and Portuguese.
