Did you guys not get seats in the stadium for the dressage competition? Why no live updates? 
We have two reporters on the ground in Rio—one is photographing and one is in the mixed zone getting quotes, so neither of them can do a ride-by-ride blog. We do those in the office from the live stream, and since we’re still putting out a magazine and all the other things we do with 2 staffers in Rio and 2 at Pony Finals, we just don’t have the manpower to have someone devote two whole days to JUST watching and commenting on the Grand Prix.
It’s the same reason we didn’t do a ride-by-ride of the eventing dressage, too.
We’ll have mid-day and end-of-day stories and photos from the Grand Prix, and we will do ride-by-ride live blogging of the Special and Freestyle.
Oooooh where do we get to see that Molly?
45 minutes until the Dressage came on the TV last night. Both Mum and I didn’t make it. I did sleep well though!!!

I am enjoying your Olympic coverage thoroughly! Thank you, COTH 
Well apparently Mum did stay up. They advertised as coming on at 11. She was switching between 2 channels. She said she never saw any and she was checking all the time. 
hmmmmmmmmm
