Olympics: Schedules, Results and the African Story

Want quick, no-nonsense Olympics coverage that highlights African athletes and the moments that matter? This tag brings you schedules, live-result roundups, short explainers and athlete profiles so you don’t miss the big stuff.

We aim to give you useful updates: event start times (with time zones), where to watch legally, and short recaps after medal events. If you only have a few minutes, read our highlights. If you want deeper context, check our feature pieces on training, funding and the road to the podium.

How we cover the Olympics

We follow every phase: qualifiers, national trials, heats, semis and finals. Coverage types you’ll find here include live result posts, quick analysis of why a race or match turned out the way it did, short athlete bios, and interviews that show what goes into elite preparation. When a result affects African teams or athletes, we dig a little deeper — funding issues, coaching moves, and how a medal changes a career.

Expect clear explanations of rules and scoring, too. If a sport looks confusing, our short explainers break down scoring, penalties and what to watch. That helps you enjoy events like gymnastics, boxing or modern pentathlon without getting lost in jargon.
