Has Beijing had the Olympics before?
Yes, this is the second time that the Olympics are being hosted by Beijing.
The first time was in 2008, when the city hosted the Summer Olympics.
In fact, it is the first time a city is hosting the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Where can I watch the broadcasts from the Olympics?
Discovery Networks owns the rights to broadcast the Olympics.
Their channels are Channel 5, Channel 9 and the streaming service Discovery +.
Will SVT not report anything at all from the Olympics?
Well, here on svtsport.se and in the SVT Sport app you will find the latest news from the Olympics, results, time programs and analyzes from our experts.
In our news programs Morgonstudion, Sportnytt and Sportspegeln, we will also report daily.
I pay TV license and expect SVT to broadcast the Olympics, why did you not buy the right?
It is very complex to buy sports rights and no two negotiations are alike.
SVT made a good bid for the 2018-2024 Olympics, but the rights for virtually the whole of Europe were sold to American Discovery Communications.
Only the IOC (International Olympic Committee) knows if Discovery paid more, less or as much for the Olympic rights in Sweden as the bid SVT made.
Why can't commercial TV and SVT share the Olympics, you share the World Cup?
We at SVT can imagine sharing the Olympics with a commercial partner.
Will SVT ever be able to afford the Olympics again?
SVT bought the broadcasting rights to the Olympics during the period 1960-2012.
Then we could afford both the Olympics and a strong other offer, which is obvious for SVT.
No one knows what the price of the Olympics will look like the next time the right is for sale, but SVT will certainly be involved in offering the Olympics based on our conditions.
