I was getting screen to create account but couldn't - think my virus software was blocking it (good old Kaspersky) but seems it was a scam and FB links to the site have been removed. Was eventually successful via Olympia website but buffering caused problems - frustrating

Tried to watch the dressage masterclass too but kept reloading and starting again then buffering at about 8 mins in so I gave up - disappointed as I was really enjoying it!

There are two Olympia Facebook pages - one is genuine and one is the scam trying to get your credit card details. The real page is warning against this. I commented on the scam page giving details and they have now stopped any comments. Please spread the word!!!!!!
The website takes you to the 'real' FB page if you want to check which one you are looking at.
The buffering last night was dreadful but I watched today via the Olympia website and it was perfect. Each 'chunk;' is a separate video you can go to directly so you can easily pick what you want to watch. Lets see if they can fix the buffering tonight.

I've just gone onto the Olympia website a couple of times to watch tonight's performance but can't find anything? No link or anything just old showings?

I'd quite like to watch the Puissance but can't find anything about it

There's no Olympia 2020 due to CV (it's not being run behind closed doors like football has been or Badminton 2021) so they've created Olympia Online which is a homage to past shows each night Olympia would have been on. Each evening has a different theme - dressage was the first I think, I didn't watch yesterday's but tonight was possibly speed so they showed a previous speed jump off class followed by previous Cossacks performance and then a driving class ... there was something after the driving but OH wanted to watch something else at this point!

They are highlighting the Puissance either Saturday or Sunday so you'll still get to see something Puissance related :)

Oh I thought they were running it behind closed doors still then streaming that! That's why it wasn't there!

Did enjoy watching the jockey challenge tonight
