Answer 2

I saw some Equestrian events on TV... they werent hard to miss because they were THE MOST BORING.  You jut werent watching close enough.

Answer 3

I've seen enough of that either on MSNBC, Oxygen or USA channels......

It's really boring(unless you're a horse freak! or love horses)

Answer 4

Australian TV sucks balls. They only show events with aussies in it. seriously wtf?? channel 7 s***w u worsest coverage

Answer 5

Where are you and what part of the world are you in?? Here in the US, there was plenty of coverage, both on TV and on line- and I was able to watch live web feeds of a lot of the events on line. They all went pretty well, and I am thrilled with the USA's winning their second straight gold medal in team show jumping. I understand that no decision has yet been made on whether or not to take Norway's bronze medal away from them, however. There was a horse on that team which tested positive for drugs, and the rider was suspended.

I am sorry you missed the events- they were something to see, and the facilities in Hong Kong were terrific.  

Answer 6

There was quite a bit of coverage here in Korea. All the drama is about the druggie horses though.
