Golf gets back into the swing of things at the Olympic Games on Thursday after a 112-year absence as the men’s tournament begins. Canada’s Graeme DeLaet and David Hearn will look to defend the gold medal won by Canadian George Lyon in the last Olympic Games golf event.
Three of Canada’s four beach volleyball teams will be in action on Thursday with Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan looking to remain undefeated when they take on Germany; Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas facing Egypt; and, on the men’s side, Ben Saxton and Chaim Chalk aiming for a big win versus Cuba.
In addition, more medals will be awarded in swimming as well as in gymnastics, with the women’s individual all-around final taking place on Thursday afternoon.
Coverage will be available on TV across CBC, TSN, TSN2, Sportsnet and Sportsnet ONE. Viewers can also watch CBC’s live streaming coverage at cbc.ca/olympics, on CBC’s app for Rio 2016 for iOS and Android devices and in virtual reality using the CBC Olympic Games Virtual Reality app.
