Only some highlights are available on mainstream channels, and they may not include your favourite sport or sports person.
The International Olympic Committee don't care they sold the rights for just under 1 billion to Discovery. I have no idea if there was a bidding war. Discovery own several Freeview channels, so I can't see why they didn't use those to broadcast the events on those ? I refuse to pay any form of TV and streaming services now paid. Landlords pay an absolute fortune on TV licence and licence to show live sports.
However BBC love tossing public money for crap and their own personal use.
