Watching Dressage Olympics

[Polyethyl]

My 8yoDD is drumming her heels in frustration that the BBC said they'd broadcast dressage but are actually showing rugby.

Is there a timetable for what sports will be shown when?

We don't have a TV package, so we're restricted to BBC iplayer. My girl is about to explode with frustration!

It's awful isn't it.

I am watching on Discovery plus. There is lovely commentary from lucinda green

Hopefully BBC will catch up soon, I agree their equestrian coverage has been shit so far

I have just realised despite having Eurosport, I don’t have the dressage either.

It definitely has a euros port logo on the screen despite me watching on Discovery plus

The BBC are in a bit of a difficult position this olympics because they lost out on all the rights, so they can only show 2 live sports at a time I believe.

The olympics have essentially been out behind a paywall this year, as you need to have the Discovery subscription to view more sports.

This might explain it better, but it's very frustrating -

Do we know when showjumping and eventing will be shown.
