You can add a calendar of Olympic events to your Outlook calendars to help schedule your TV watching.
As usual, people have converted the Rio events into a computer readable format that can be imported into calendar programs like Microsoft Outlook.
There’s no official web calendar from either the organizers nor broadcasters (that we can find) so we’re relying on individuals who have done the work.
The most comprehensive we’ve seen is
available from iCloud but will work fine with Outlook.
To use it, or any other publicly shared calendar, right-click on My Calendars | Add Calendar | From Internet.
Or Home tab | Manage Calendars | From Internet …
Copy the .ical or webcal:// link into the field and let Outlook grab the data from the Internet.
It will be added as an additional calendar that you can view separately or combine in side-by-side or overlay views with your other calendars. Use Search to narrow down the long list to just the events you want.
The event times should be converted into the local time zone set for your computer and Outlook.
Effective Outlook Calendars has a whole chapter on adding calendars to Outlook and the many options for viewing multiple calendars together.
The only other importable ‘Rio’ calendar we’ve found is:
Aside from that there are the web browser calendars like the official one from https://www.rio2016.com/en/schedule-and-results
Or check the TV broadcaster in your country. For example NBC in America: http://www.nbcolympics.com/full-schedule
For those of us with little interest in matters Olympic, there’s always box sets and binge watching. Anyone for The West Wing?
