Alongside Carragher and Lynam, nine of The Telegraph’s sports journalists will report from Germany and London across all platforms.

Ahead of the Summer Olympics and Paralympics, The Telegraph says it has signed former Olympic Champions including Jessica Ennis-Hill to apply their expertise and commentary throughout the games and key events, alongside Telegraph Sport journalists who will be reporting from France and London. The Olympic hub on telegraph.co.uk will be home to stories and commentary, along with live blogs and updated medal tables and schedules.

The Daily Telegraph on Saturday will have dedicated sections for both the Euros and the Olympics, added the publisher. Subscribers will have 24/7 access to exclusive interviews, insights and analysis of all tournaments on telegraph.co.uk, via the Telegraph app, in print, via dedicated newsletters and on social media.
