Plan the Perfect Projector Viewing Party with These Popular Olympic Events

Hosting viewing parties is one of the advantages of having an entertainment area with a projector. And with the Paris 2024 Olympics currently underway, what better reason to invite all your favorite sports fans to your spot, than for a viewing party? A projector magnifies the display and allows you to take in all the details of every  event, and if you’re rolling with a high-definition projector and ALR screen combination from Formovie, you’ll be transported to the heart of the action when the screen comes alive.


There are a handful of sporting events that are regarded as viewer favorites the world over, and these are the best events to invite people over to watch. We’ve curated the list of events for you right here, as well as the best streaming platforms to watch them on once your guests honor the invitation.

The World’s Favorite Olympics Events 

It’s amazing to think that the oldest sporting event in the world lasts for only half a month (17 days to be exact) after we’ve waited an entire four years to witness it. Nevertheless, nearly 29 million people reportedly watched this year’s Olympics Opening Ceremony, a huge leap from the 17 million mark of 2021, according to analysis conducted by Nielsen and Adobe. 


The top three most popular events that viewers watch after the Opening Ceremony has ended include swimming and gymnastics. Here are the dates for the top three Olympic Events taking place between now and August 11th.

If you’re a fan of artistic gymnastics and would like to see which Olympic team takes home the most medals for the sport, August 3 and 4 are the days you should have everybody come over because it’s on the weekend. 


A projector with a massive screen will allow you to scrutinize all the technical details and landings as if you were right in the judge’s box. The Formovie THEATER has a screen that can expand all the way up to 150 inches, however, it shines brighter paired with the Formovie 120 inch Floor Rising ALR Screen, or the100 inch Wall Mounted ALR Screen.

One of the coolest features on a Formovie THEATER is its ability to make fast moving objects glide effortlessly across the screen without creating a blur behind them, also known as MEMC. If you prefer the adrenaline rush of a 100m dash, you need a display with Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation to deliver a smooth display of the world’s fastest athletes sprinting across the screen. 


The weekend of August 3 and 4 will let you see the men’s and women’s 100m final, while August 9th is set to be the day for the men’s and women’s 4x100m relay. 

Swimming

For die hard sports fans, the August 4th weekend will be a truly enjoyable day because all three of the most anticipated sports have events scheduled. The men’s and women’s 4x100m medley relay final is taking place on August 4th, while the mixed medley relay will take place the day before on August 3rd. 


It can be a bit hard to keep track of the athletes as they swish in and out of the water, unless of course your projector or display is packed with ultra-high definition properties, like the Formovie THEATER. It has a 4K UHD resolution paired with a 3000:1 contrast ratio and 1800 ISO lumens of brightness for a vibrant display, plus it boasts HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision compatibility that makes everything look more realistic. With enough contrast, brightness, and color accuracy, you won’t miss a beat or a heat. 

Where Are the Olympics Streaming? 

Having access to all major streaming platforms comes in handy at a time like this, and a projector with an Android TV OS makes accessing everything that much easier. Additionally, having multiple connectivity ports such as HDMI or USB gives you access to cable TV so you can watch your regular programming on a larger screen.
