The BBC has announced its plans for 3D broadcasts from the 2012 Olympic Games.
The broadcaster says the extravagant opening and closing ceremonies will be shown in the format, as will nightly highlights from the games. The only sporting event to be shown live in 3D will be the men’s 100 metre finals on 5 August.
Roger Mosey, BBC director of 2012, said, “The BBC’s overall approach to 3D has been very much on the lines of an experiment around special events like Wimbledon and Strictly Come Dancing.”
Mr Mosey first announced plans to show the Olympics in 3D in 2009. However, this is the first time there has been confirmation of which events will be covered.
