Is this Olympia by a different name?

I believe it’s always been called the London international horse show.

It is Olympia by its proper name, it has always been the London International Horse Show but this year it is at a different venue so the Olympia "nickname" isn't being used.

Any idea when dressage starts on Horse and Country, meant to be on this morning but nothing happening.

Historically and orginally it was the (Great) International Horse Show

Olympia and London were added to the title when it was restarted in the 70s, back at Olympia (was at White City for a bit pre war). It's known as Olympia purely because a) it rolls off the tongue and b) it's the location.
