The NBCSN Olympics TV schedule will air nearly 100 hours of classic Olympic programming nightly from April 13-26, featuring Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Simone Biles and official Olympic films.

The first week features “Return to Rio” and “Return to London” programs of the last two Summer Olympics, highlighted by gymnastics, swimming and diving and track and field.

The second week, starting April 20, kicks off with Beijing Olympic highlights, including Phelps’ record eight gold medals and Bolt’s breakout with world records in the 100m and 200m.

The NBCSN Olympics TV schedule concludes with other Olympic classics -- basketball and gymnastics finals scattered from 1988 through 2016. Plus, Olympic films featuring Jesse Owens at the 1936 Berlin Games and “1968,” which tells the intersection of sports and politics leading up to and during the Mexico City Olympics, narrated by Serena Williams.
