The Paris Olympics is finally here. With 18 packed days of sporting action (starting at ~12 PM IST and going on through the day and late into the night), it can get a bit overwhelming for sports fans to keep track of who's doing what, and when. Don't worry, ESPN India has you covered.
Here are the important dates (and timings) for all of India's key athletes (and some big ticket international events) so that you can plan your schedule around it (ideally, via ESPN India's coverage).
Note 1 - All the timings are in IST.
Note 2 - For certain events like badminton and boxing, we have mentioned session starting times. Once schedules of the participating Indian athletes are confirmed, the same will be updated on our daily live schedules. Those events have been marked "on" and those continue through the evening and into the late night.
Note 3 - Events marked past 12 AM happen late that same night. i.e. an event marked 12.22 AM on July 27 happens late on July 27 night.
