By John Buhler
Here’s how to watch Olympic badminton semifinals in the men’s/women’s doubles, women’s singles quarterfinals, and the bronze medal game in mixed doubles online.
Day 6 of Olympic badminton is heating up with four of the five medal events seeing action on Tuesday at Riocentro. The men’s singles event will have the day off, but the other four events will be humming right along.
Tuesday will bring semifinals matches in both the men’s and women’s doubles in the morning session, women’s singles quarterfinals in the evening session, and the bronze medal game in the mixed doubles in the evening session.
Coverage for Olympic badminton will begin at Riocentro at 7:00 a.m. ET or 8:00 a.m. local time for the folks still in Rio de Janeiro. Though the NBCOlympics.com live stream is still the best bet to not miss a second of the exciting badminton action, crucial Day 6 can be seen twice on American network television.
USA will air Olympic badminton at 12:30 PM ET in conjunction with a women’s handball quarterfinal between Spain and Brazil, and some canoe/kayak. USA will have badminton coverage until 3:00 p.m. ET.
Picking up where USA left off, NBCSN will have more Olympic badminton starting at 3:00 PM ET, airing in conjunction with a women’s soccer semifinal match between Germany and Canada. NBCSN will have badminton coverage until 5:30 p.m. ET.
Tuesday will also bring the first official medal to be earned in Olympic badminton in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Tuesday evening will feature the bronze medal match between two Chinese teams in the Mixed Doubles.
The winner of the All-Chinese bronze medal game in the mixed doubles will certainly have to wait to see how the gold medal match between Indonesia and Malaysia shakes out before bringing home bronze to China.
