I like to watch track, gymnastics, swimming, golf, Decathalon and basketball. I could not watch every event.

Watching quite a bit of the competition. Good so far. Like Dave’s wife, I love horses and have ridden quite a bit in my younger years. Did some dressage so am enjoying the horses this morning in qualifying. Beautiful.

That is such an awesome photo, he's flying up off a wave but looks so casual like he's just chilling.
I've been watching a ton of olympics, we have peacock streaming and it's showing EVERY event, way more than any person could ever watch but it's fun to try.

The wife has tried to tape horse events, the squares say it's about horses but it isn't. She's fed up with trying to watch events she wants to see. The last summer olympics worked great and she saw everything she wanted; this one totally sucks. It may be better with peacock but at this stage its not worth paying to watch it.

Yeah, I can’t get some things but the dressage was on E at the time it was listed. Not sure when/where the finals will be on Sat and Sun. I will not pay to watch Peacock, either. Stopped when it was no longer free to me.

We had a family friend who was a dressage trainer with several national titles and horses that went to the Olympics.
She knew it was time to get out when driving home from winning a national title she said to her friend " well at least that's over!"
