Original Series will include Legends Live On, which follows the legacy of Olympic Heroes and how they inspire generations, and The Z Team, a docu-reality series that follows Olympic legends as they try to turnaround a struggling youth sports team in just one week.
The Olympic Channel is available for free and can be found in the sports category in the Roku Channel Store.
