How to Follow Live – Simple Options

For mobile fans, the Paris 2024 app gives live scores, medal tables and push notifications for your favourite sports. It’s free and works even with limited data plans, so you won’t be stuck waiting for a Wi‑Fi hotspot.

Social media is another fast lane. Follow #ParisOlympics on Twitter or Instagram and you’ll see real‑time clips, athlete interviews and behind‑the‑scenes moments. Many journalists post quick summaries that help you stay updated in just a few minutes each day.

Don’t forget the time zones. Paris is three hours ahead of Nairobi, so an evening race there might be early morning for you. Setting your clock to CET in your phone’s world clock saves confusion and ensures you never miss a start.

Finally, if you love deep analysis, check out podcasts that break down each day's events. Shows like "Olympic Insight" feature experts who explain tactics, training tricks and what the results mean for future competitions.
