In addition to "Editor's recommendation! Information", there were notice settings of Japanese medal preliminary report and all the tournament bulletins. If you set this, you can send a notification every time when you know that Japan has won medals, or you can send medal information once a day at once. I can not keep watching the relay all the time while at work, but it seems to be useful when I want to know medal information.
