Viewers will be able to get into the midst of the Olympic action at Rio 2016 with BBC Sport screening immersive 360-degree video live from the Games.

Friday's opening ceremony will be the first chance to experience the service, with action from the athletics, boxing, basketball and other events to follow.

The 360-degree coverage can be viewed via a headset and the BBC Sport 360 app or on the BBC Taster website.

I guess so. I will probably end up using it and loving it! I was in a grumpy mood earlier so apologise!
