There will be more coverage than ever of U.S. shooting athletes in Rio for the 2016 Summer Olympics. According to USA Shooting, “The networks and digital platforms of NBCUniversal will present an unprecedented 6,755 hours of programming from the Games of the XXXI Olympiad from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.”
Since Rio is just one hour ahead of the East Coast of the U.S., the 2016 Summer Games might be the most live Olympics ever. NBCUniversal will be presenting 2,084 hours of Olympic programming across 11 television networks.
Additionally, all Olympic shooting events will be streamed live from the NBC Olympics website. Livestreaming is your best bet to watch the drama unfold as it happens—and to get the most up-to-date medal count for your favorite Olympic shooting sport discipline.
