If you're planning on having a few friends round to
watch the olympics on TV, we thought it might be helpful if you knew what events were happening on which days!
That way, you can
plan your party around specific events.
The trouble is, the London 2012 Olympics is such a huge event with so many different sports happening in different places at different times, it's hard to know where to even begin
writing up a schedule of all the events! If we do it by date, it means that people looking for specific events have to scroll through day-by-day until they eventually find the event they are
looking for. If, on the other hand, we list the events alphabetically, it makes it very hard for someone to know what is going to be on the TV on July 28th (for example).
So here's what we've decided to do (and it's going to take a while to build, so please be patient!). At the top of the page will be an alphabetical list of all the sports.
These will be colour-coded, so that if, (for example) you are intersted in Judo, you know that you need to look for
blocks of bright red colour. Below the list of sports will be a day-by-day planner, so you can see what is happening on any given day during London 2012. If you click on the
name of your chosen sport at the top of the page, you should be taken (hopefully!) to the first date on which that sport will be taking place.
Make sense?!
Please be patient as we build this page - we'll try to add a few days each week, so it will be ready in plenty of time for the Olympics in July.
