In Europe, Warner Bros. will broadcast the Winter Olympics live across four different channels and platforms: Eurosport, TNT Sports, HBO Max, and Discovery+. Warner Bros. announced today, with 100 days to go before the Games, that they will broadcast a series of documentaries and content.
Athletes to Watch will be a series of profile videos about the stars of the Games, like Eileen Gu (China, snowboard), Marcel Hirscher (Netherlands, alpine skiing), Stefan Kraft (Austria, ski jumping) or Emily Harrop (France, mountain ski). Another docuseries, called Monuments, will focus on the history of the winter sports.
