Before the Olympics start for real there are a few days of warm ups. I suppose it takes more than 2 weeks to have a football competition so they have to get cracking. The Rugby 7s is also on which is odd as that finishes during the first weekend. If you love a bit of Archery qualifying then you can try that too.
Anyway, if you want some early Olympics here are some things to watch
