The Olympics is always one of the most hotly anticipated events in the sporting calendar, and after a year extra without our favourite events than usual, we're even more excited than usual for the Games to begin.
Of course, as the tournament is so far away, and with the coronavirus pandemic still raging, it's unlikely many of us will get to watch the event in person.
Telly, therefore, becomes ever more important to help us keep up to date - as well as your favourite news website, Bristol Live, of course.

With that in mind, we thought we'd run down how to watch the Olympics on TV to help you take in as much of the action as possible - despite the time difference.

Two UK broadcasters hold the rights to show the Olympics: the BBC and Eurosport.
BBC One and BBC Two (simulcast on iPlayer) will broadcast more than 350 hours of live Olympics action this summer, across all 33 sports. A secondary stream, with different coverage, is available to watch on iPlayer, too.
Each day, JJ Chalmers will anchor the BBC's coverage from midnight until 5am BST. From there it's Dan Walker and Sam Quek will host a special edition of Breakfast from 5am until 9am. From then until 3pm it'll be Gabby Logan and Hazel Irvine.
Jason Mohammad will take us from 3pm - 6pm, before Clare Balding and Alex Scott close out each day on BBC One from 7.30pm - 9pm.
BBC Two will also show a highlights programme every day from 9pm - 10pm.
BBC 5 Live will have Olympics programmes from 1am - 9pm and 11am - 2pm daily, while the Olympics Daily podcast can keep you up to date, too.
Eurosport doesn't have the same muscle behind its operation, but if you prefer its coverage to the BBC's, you can watch it online or via the app for £7 per month or £40 per year. On linear TV, Eurosport 1 is on Sky channel 410 or Virgin channel 521. Eurosport 2 is on Sky channel 410 or Virgin channel 522 (subscription required).
