Sailing at the Olympics has grown in popularity over the past twenty years, particularly with the rise of the internet making it easier to broadcast the regattas to the world.

But when will the sailing events be broadcast on TV, I hear you cry?

The Games kick off on Friday 5 August 2016 with the Opening Ceremony. The BBC will be broadcasting all of the events (including running, cycling, etc.) live from Rio across TV, radio, online and the BBC Sport mobile app.
