The official Olympic Medal Alert App tells users whenever their favourite teams or athletes win or when a medal is awarded in their favourite sports.
The smartphone app is free and simple to use. Produced by the International Olympic Committee, it?s available on the 1, 1 and from 1 as a downloadable desktop widget.
Users simply open the app and register their mobile phone or email details plus details of what they want to receive medal alerts for ? whether it?s an individual athlete, team, sport or National Olympic Committee.
During the Olympic Games, the Olympic Medal Alert app will tell users instantly via email or text alert when a medal is won in one of the fields they?ve specified.
In addition, it will give users a link to the website of their relevant rights-holding broadcaster so they can check out videos, images and stories on all the Olympic action in their own language.
