4 ways Google will show up in NBCUniversal’s Olympic Games Paris 2024 coverage

Millions are getting ready to watch the world’s top athletes compete in Paris. And if you’re tuning in from the U.S., you’ll get to see Team USA athletes — like Dani Aravich, Jagger Eaton, Ilona Maher, Victor Montalvo, Kelsey Plum and Fred Richard — try out our latest features.

Today, we’re announcing a partnership with Team USA and NBCUniversal that will spotlight helpful Google features in NBCUniversal’s Olympic and Paralympic coverage across broadcast, online and social. With the help of Team USA athletes and NBC talent, we’ll show how our latest advancements in Search, Google Maps Platform and Gemini can make it easier to explore and learn about the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Here’s how you’ll see our products show up during NBCUniversal’s Paris Games coverage:

1. Explain the Games with Google Search

During NBCU’s daytime and primetime coverage, NBC Olympics announcers will demonstrate how Search’s AI Overviews can give you a quick snapshot and links to find out more about your favorite sports or athletes. For instance, find out the importance of swim lanes, learn the different rules of Olympic basketball or get information about guide runners in Paralympic Track and Field.

2. Dig deeper with Gemini

NBC’s “chief superfan commentator” Leslie Jones will use Gemini to satisfy her many Paris Games and Team USA curiosities. Follow the fun in segments on NBC and Peacock as Leslie uses Gemini to get involved in the action, learn a new sport and more.

3. Explore Paris with Search, Maps and Gemini

Follow along on NBCUniversal’s social media as U.S. Olympians and Paralympians take in the Paris sights. They’ll use Lens, Circle to Search, Immersive View in Google Maps and Gemini to explore the city based on their unique interests.

4. See Google Maps Platform bring Paris landmarks to life

Google Maps Platform’s Photorealistic 3D Tiles, which offers 3D views of locations around the world, will be on full display during NBCU’s broadcast. You’ll see stunning views of iconic Olympic venues in Paris, like Versailles, Roland Garros and the Aquatics Centre.
