I tried to combine columns where I can to make the sheet a little bit neater and less cluttered. Best I can do to keep things organized, but also somewhat readable. Easier for the Winter Olympics where I could fit everything into 9 columns. With the Summer Olympics, there are a couple days where there might be 25 sports all in action on the same day. But then how do you know which event is on other than "athletics"? I mean, personally I would probably skip everything if it's the 400m final or something, whereas for the hammer throw final I might choose to watch other things.

Vektor 3,195 Posted April 4, 2021 #1892 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The issue with creating a personal schedule is that it's constantly evolving if you want to keep track of your countries' athletes, even during the day for stuff like fencing and judo. What I usually do is that I create a table listing all the Hungarian events for the day once the previous day is over and for sports where an athlete can have more than one match/race per day I leave multiple empty columns in the table, and I fill those slots with the scheduled time of the next matches as the day moves forward if they have qualified for the next round. That way I can keep track of what coming next. Here's an example for a day of Rio: Discipline Athlete(s) R64 R32 R16 QF Re SF F/3rd Fencing Rédli András 14:30 - Judo Csoknyai László - 15:35 Fencing Boczkó Gábor - 16:15 Fencing Imre Géza - 16:45 Discipline Athlete(s) H/Q Re QF SF F Rowing Molnár Bendegúz Y Y 13:50 X X Shooting Csonka Zsófia 14:00 - - Shooting Tobai-Sike Renáta 14:00 - - Rowing Juhász / Simon Y Y - 15:00 X Discipline Athlete(s) GS Water polo Hungary 14:00 I don't write down the name of the events because I remember them anyway. "Y" means that they qualified the previous day and "X" means that the next round won't take place today. I will probably do something similar this time, but I will also make time schedule for preferred neutral events. I didn't do that for the previous SOGs because I wasn't sure what the TV will air, plus for Rio we only had the Hungarian National TV, and they obviously prefer Hungarian events. This time I will have full control over what I can watch with Eurosport Player, plus I think even the Hungarian TV will have literally everything streamed live for free. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinzha 529 Posted April 4, 2021 #1899 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Love seeing all the schedules you guys make! I didn't want to create a full Tokyo schedule already (leaving some of the fun for the summer!), so instead I made a schedule of sports events I want to follow up to the start of the Games. Was a nice little practice run with the format I was considering. For the Games this would be on day-to-day instead of week-to-week basis, so it'll be quite the project: Excuse my Dutch The first rows are my favorite sports (athletics, volleyball, beach volleyball, cycling, mountainbike, football) and the grey row at the bottom is various other interesting things.
