How to Still Watch the HD Replay of Rio Olympics
Olympics season has already ended and we can’t wait to catch all the fun in HD! Not all of us were lucky to go to Rio de Janeiro to cheer our country, but we watched our stars on television. Now to add to the fun and excitement, many of our broadcasting networks are planning to telecast the action once again- and in 4K high-definition picture quality!
Yes, that’s right! Now you can catch a glimpse of Summer Olympics in all its glory in full HD quality with a bucket of popcorn in hand. For the first time in history, all the games of Rio Olympics will be broadcasted and replayed in HD mode, and that too in Virtual Reality.

4K Ultra HD Option for Added Enjoyment
This year NBC will be broadcasting a 4K Ultra HD(UHD) coverage to cable, satellite, telecom providers and may other partners. While it’s a great news for people who love to see their games in crystal clarity, the downside is that this 83 hours of coverage will be broadcasted on one day delay, which will include a 4K UHD footage of both the opening and closing ceremonies, swimming, track and basketball, men’s soccer final, judo and Rio sceneries.

Also, live stream may not be available for some events, but you can always catch a glimpse of the highlights and the latest stats from the games through the official Rio 2016 aps for iOS, Android and Windows phone.
You can also watch it in official Olympics for iOS and Android. These apps can be installed to watch the 2016 Rio Olympics on your iPad or Android tablet. These apps help you watch all the events according to your convenience. You play, pause, rewind everything according to your convenience.
Watch the Rio Olympics HD on Virtual Reality
Even if technology can’t help you in actually taking you to the location of the events, but it definitely can offer you the next best thing. With the help of Virtual Reality, you will get the next-best experience of what it actually feels like to be in that stage and that too in HD mode!
NBC had shaken hands with Samsung Great VR and Samsung Galaxy smartphone to design Virtual Reality devices through which users can access more than 100 hours of virtual reality programming. This VR content covers everything, starting from the opening ceremony to closing ceremony. With the ceremonies they cover events like men’s basketball, gymnastics, track and field, beach and volleyball, diving, boxing and also the fencing events.

It feels like time has flown in a blink of eye, even if, in reality, a couple of weeks have already passed. But it’s now time to revisit that excitement and euphoria again. Let’s see the world again greet the new fine athletes and appreciate their talent and skills. The Rio Olympics which started on 5th August was wrapped up on 22nd August.
