What sports can I try?
Visitors will be allowed to try summer Olympic sports, including many beach versions of these disciplines, and many other attractive sports not included in the Olympics. Moreover, everyone will receive recommendations on where they can do the selected sport in their home area in the long-term.
Locations of all the sports and their daily schedule here.
Can I watch the broadcasts from Rio?
Fans will have the chance to watch on large-format screens live broadcasts of every contest in which the Czech team competes for medals. You can also look forward to telebridges with contestants directly in Rio. We want the contestants at the Games to feel the support of their fans at home, and people in the Czech Republic to know that the contestants appreciate that support.
Will Olympic medal winners appear at the Rio–Lipno 2016 Olympic Park?
We are planning that the first part of the team to return from Rio on 16 August will visit the Olympic Park. You will also meet former Olympic contestants who successfully represented our country in the past.
You can book the sports grounds here.
