The men’s 100m freestyle final at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will take place on Thursday, 11 August, at 12:03pm (AEST).
If you are looking to watch the men’s 100m freestyle final, it will be televised live on the Seven Network and available via a live stream online or using the Olympics on 7 app.
The Seven Network is televising events from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on all three of its channels – 7, 7TWO, and 7mate.
As a major swimming event, you can be certain that Seven will broadcast the men’s 100m freestyle final on one of these channels – likely 7.
However, you also have the option of live streaming Seven’s coverage of the event, if you don’t want to watch on TV. This can be done for free, via two different routes.
The first is that you could watch the live stream online – simply go to Seven’s Rio 2016 Olympic Games live-streaming website and click the appropriate channel.
Alternatively, you can look to use the Olympics on 7 app. This allows you to access the same live stream on mobiles or tablets, and is available on both iOS and Android.
The 100m freestyle has been a regular event at the olympics for more than 100 years and makes another appearance at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
Australia has two competitors who may qualify for the final this year – Cameron McEvoy and Kyle Charmers.
However, Australia has not had a winner in the event since the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, when it was won by Mike Wenden.
Australia has won the event a total of three times, with Jon Henricks and John Devitt the other winners, in the Melbourne 1956 and Rome 1960 Olympic Games respectively.
The USA are both the most recent and most regular winners. They’ve won the event thirteen times over the years. American Nathan Adrian won it at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
