If you are a fan of the Olympic Games and those of Rio2016 coincide (they are from August 5 to 21) with a trip on a cruise, do not worry, because you will be able to enjoy the broadcast of the Rio Games on the boat itself.
The sports marketing multinational IMG and the International Olympic Committee have signed an agreement so that the Olympic events can be seen through the Sport 24 channel, this means that they can be seen on airplanes and cruise ships.
On the Sport24 channel more than 200 hours will be seen live of competition during the 17 days of the Games. And this includes the opening and closing ceremony. The channel will also create and edit its own content with daily and weekly programs.
The cruise companies in which I can assure you that the broadcast of Rio2016 will be seen are Carnival, and all its subsidiaries and Cunard Cruises.
The senior vice president of IMG Media, and the general director of television and marketing services of the IOC, have expressed their joy at having reached this agreement, which makes possible a greater coverage of the event and that people like you do not miss the sporting event of the anus.
Remember that we already told you in another article that The United States men's and women's basketball team, together with the technical team, will focus on the luxury cruise ship Silver Cloud, by Silversea Cruise. This is not the first time they have had a similar gesture, since in 2004 they settled on the Queen Mary 2, in Cunard. One of the reasons, in addition to security, for which they have taken this measure, in the mouth of the team delegate himself, is because the "beds in the Olympic village are not prepared for the height and size of the players." So imagine starting in September, if you embark on the Silver Cloud you can say that you have slept in the same beds as the NBA stars.
