A summary of Rio Olympic news, as and when we receive it.
03 June 2015: Cosport have announced a second round for British residents to request tickets starting 03 June and ending 14.00 (London time) on 10 June 2015.
19 May 2015: Cosport have just announced that an "unforeseen technical issue" has arisen and the sale of Olympic tickets for British residents has been postponed.
28 April 2015: We heard today that 4 May 2015 (yes, 2015) is the deadline for applying for tickets via the “Rio 2016 Official Ticket Reseller for Great Britain & Northern Ireland”, Cosport (www.cosport.com) without subjecting yourselves to a first come first served window - which starts on 18 May. We'll update this link if the situation changes, but it does mean that you should get your skates on (sorry!), especially bearing in mind the upswell of support from the UK after 2012's success.
