Glad to hear it. I don’t know why they have options on the site I posted, but if you just choose the plain jumping horse logo there are no ads and you get the better commentators.

There are ads when I use the NBC sports app on my iPad. Using the web browser means no ads? Now all I have to do is figure out the sign in. There is a sign up, but I’m not sure if this is the sign in or an invitation for NBC to spam my inbox until at least the next Olympics.
I don’t have an app. I’m watching online with a laptop.The sign in is from your cable or satellite provider. I haven’t had to make any sort of sign in or account with NBC and I’ve not had any spam from NBC. You just have to get NBC on your cable or satellite TV package.

There was rider push back at the beginning of this Olympic cycle and all the way to the start. The IOC didn’t care and the FEI didn’t support.
Thanks!!!
The “sign in with your provider” is only to prove that you get NBC on your cable or satellite service.
This was big news at the time, but under the circumstances is worth a re- read.

Thank you for the link to the article. Interesting read indeed.
Yes I heard about that, I’m just wondering if the falls and multiple team eliminations today might have some effect? I know it’s probably naive of me
The part that really jumped out at me was the list of priorities. If you think horse welfare is less important than pleasing the random spectators, you’re doing it wrong.

Order of go for the team final at 6:00 AM Eastern on Saturday, 8/7.
So between the qualifier and the final they can change their riders? Rodrigo pessona isn’t on the start list?
Rodrigo had a bad go. His horse spooked at the wall and did something else bad, so he opted out.
Here we go! Everyone have their coffee?
Here we go!
He had a disastrous round. Why would he put the horse through another?

Loved Berlux’s celebratory buck. And now we see why Baloutinue came to the party!
Good grief, Laura is a force of nature- that horse looks extremely large, extremely strong, and slightly feral after three rounds this week.
