Google would very much like to be your one-stop-shop for everything related to the Olympics. They’re working on rolling out new features and updates to ensure that all the updates you need will be at your fingertips.

There’s a lot happening under the hood and we’ll try to break it down for you. Primarily, Google will provide all the information you want via cards. These cards will pop-up when you search for relevant information via Google and will display information on event schedules, athlete information, etc.

You’ll also be presented with TV schedules in “30+ countries” and have the option of watching events live streamed on YouTube. In fact, Google is sending 15 creators to Rio to “give you a taste of what it’s like to be there.”

Google points out that if you search for information on the Google app on Android or iOS, you’ll have the option to enable automatic updates on events, medals won and more. Google has also sent Google Street View Trekkers into the Olympic Park so as to capture 360 degree imagery of the place.

This year’s summer Olympics are to be held in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, where over 10,000 athletes from over 200 countries are expected to participate. The event will be kicked off on 21 August. Rio will become the first South American city to host the Olympic Games.
