If you’re worried about missing all the action of the 2016 Rio Olympics while you’re at Bond – fear not, as the entire Games will be screened 24/7 in several locations around campus!
You can catch all the Olympics action live at the following locations:
- Don’s Tavern
- The Brasserie
- The Sports Centre (on the huge screens on the gym floor)
- The Library foyer (24 hours a day; 7 days a week)
- The MLC (no audio, 24 hours a day; 7 days a week)
Be sure to keep an eye out for our Bond Olympians, Cameron McEvoy and Maddie Groves in the pool, and Mat Belcher on the water.
If you’re keen on following all the action in the pool – tune in to Channel 7 from Sunday 7 August through to 14 August. The heats will be broadcast from 2.00am AEST (ouch!), but the good news is the semi-finals and finals will be broadcast daily from 11.00am AEST.
