Team Canada is going all in for the Paris 2024 Olympics


As the world eagerly anticipates the Olympic Games Paris 2024, set to take place from Friday, July 26 to Sunday, August 11, Team Canada is preparing to make its mark among approximately 10,500 athletes from 206 countries. With an equal representation of 5,250 men and 5,250 women, these Games promise to be a landmark event for gender equality and athletic excellence.

Canadian fans will not miss a moment of the action thanks to CBC’s comprehensive coverage of Paris 2024. The public broadcaster will offer over 3,000 hours of live content across multiple platforms, ensuring that every Canadian medal-winning moment is captured. Coverage will be broadcast live from every venue including in-depth reporting on the biggest moments.

In addition to traditional TV broadcasts on CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet, audiences can watch live events daily on the free CBC Gem streaming service. CBC’s dedicated Paris 2024 website and app for Android and iOS devices will provide full event schedules, results, athlete bios, features, and daily updates. This extensive coverage ensures that Canadians can stay connected to the games wherever they are. We have covered before in our blog how expensive it is to watch Sports in Canada. We are thankful for CBC providing free streams and full coverage of the event.

Athletes of Team Canada are expected to shine in Paris and who we in particular are excited to look out for:

Penny Oleksiak will look to add to her impressive medal tally in swimming, bringing her experience and determination to the pool. Andre De Grasse, a standout in track and field, will aim to dominate the sprint events and continue his legacy as one of the fastest men in the world.

 

Margaret (Maggie) Mac Neil, another swimming sensation, is poised to excel in her events, building on her past successes. Bianca Andreescu, a powerhouse in tennis, will bring her competitive edge and resilience to the courts. Additionally, the men's basketball team with superstars such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray, and some of Canada’s top talents, will strive to make a significant impact and compete for a spot on the podium.

Events we and most Canadians would want to keep an eye on:

Basketball: With a strong men's team, Canada aims to compete fiercely on the court.

Swimming: Athletes like Oleksiak and Mac Neil are set to deliver thrilling performances.

Track and Field: De Grasse will lead Canada’s charge in the sprint events.

To ensure that Canadians are fully immersed in the Olympic experience, CBC’s digital platforms will offer exclusive content, including in-depth reports, highlights, digital series, and on-demand replays. This extensive digital presence will provide fans with a comprehensive and engaging way to follow their favorite athletes and events.

As the countdown to Paris 2024 continues, Team Canada is preparing to inspire and captivate the nation with their performances.
