2016 Olympics has started in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with athletes from more than 200 countries competing in more than 300 events from August 5-21.

Also, you can stream thousands of live sporting events airing on NBC, NBCSN and Golf Channel as well as replays and highlights for free, and navigate the app easily by asking Cortana to “Open Premier League,” “Open NFL” or “Open Live & Upcoming.” If you are a Sling subscriber, you can enjoy via Sling TV too.
