Due to the pandemic, the 2020 Olympics is a year late and started on July 23, 2021. Since Covid 19 is still with us, no spectators have been allowed. This means this Olympic event will be a digital event for fans. The official Olympics app brings you all the news and highlights, schedules and sports features.
