Peacock just said “coverage concluded.” Do we not get to see the medal ceremony?

I wonder if there’s a way to leave feedback about the broadcast? The coverage has been mostly great but maybe speaking up could help this in the future?

So Boyd and Julia Krajewski both finished on 32.10, but he is 10th and she is 11th - looks like the tie breaker was closest to time on xc.

I got lots of emails a couple of weeks before the Olympics started, and I wrote them repeatedly, asking if they would show the jog, (they said they would show EVERYTHING.) But they responded immediately. several times. I think if you get emails from them, and if you are subscribed to Peacock, you can write them. and if you paid extra, you should raise hell.

The CBC coverage is great, the commercials are at least mini commercials, albeit annoying, but whatever, I’m watching for FREE.
The camerawork has been amazing, the views are stunning, I have to say I’m very pleased with this Olympics. Such lovely work done all around by France.
But can we take a moment, lets appreciate JAPAN! WOW! They up and moved to GB because they had to, buying already made 5* horses, and have just done amazing at the Olympics. I always found them to be the underdog, they have the support, but just couldn’t ride good enough with the horses they had. They did amazing this year, wonderful!

You could buy me Chipmunk and I wouldn’t be able to get around a cross country course at the 4* and 5* level. I hate when people think expensive horses are the do all end all. Plenty of SJ riders have bought other peoples top horses and never had close to the same results.

my point is they have ben knocking at the door for awhile now, but never on horses they have made. I am not doubting they have the talent, but aside from Badminton and Burghley, I do not see them showing up at international events. I do not have a list of international events, but I don’t see them often but the Olympics and maybe the world championships. I just think always on made horses is…well not to my strictly armchair opinion.

Thrilled France medaled at their home Olympics! What a thing to celebrate! Team GB dominate per usual. Happy for that great team! Really thrilled for Bruno and his team… completing a dream.
I will say that I am a bit ehhhh about Japan winning a medal with subbing a horse in. Thrilled for them to have come so far in the last bit of time! But, I think 20 pen for subbing a fresh horse in is not equitable. I think it either needs to be a higher penalty (like 100) for subbing a horse in or the team drops to two riders. I think if a horse is not fit to compete the team shouldn’t be in medal contention. A big part of eventing is being able to have a sound, happy horse on day three after xc. I saw this too without wanting to take away anything from the impressive work the Japanese riders have been putting in through the years.

So I live in South Korea, so I’m a little closer to the horse scene in Asia. I can say that events / anything horsey is extremely limited locally. Most of the land in this part of the world is mountainous, and the more usable farmland is given to food production as it’s more valuable. There’s simply not much land to dedicate to horses, let alone competition spaces or events. And with the yen collapsing in value…it’s hard to justify investing years’ worth of money when your country has very little foundation in the industry.

Imagine you come from a country with absolutely no Eventing tradition and culture, but your Federation wants to establish the sport. There is no way you can “bring along” a horse if you have no idea how it is done, nor does anybody else in your home country. The way they have gone about this may encourage participation in Japan, and lead to the establishment of the sport.
