The day has *finally* arrived. The Seine is clean (we hope), the outfits are questionable, the beds are made of cardboard (allegedly) and it's time for our 460+ Aussie champions to show Paris what we're made of with the opening ceremony kicking off on Saturday morning.
Whether you're a die-hard sports aficionado or someone who simply loves jumping on a trend, consider us your go-to guide for all things Olympic bingeing over the next month. We'll be sharing which events we've got on the radar each week , how to stream and of course all the best spots in your city to watch the big screens with a brew or two.
