The thread of all Olympic Threads

Turns out I already have discovery+ on my tv so I’m all set!

Thanks so much for this Teapot, very helpful indeed!

Does anyone know whether I'll be able to watch stuff on my Sky Go app on my phone, if I add the Discovery+ channel to my package? I'm away from home w/c 29th, and really don't want to miss the equestrian bits.

Someone I know contacted Discovery Plus, and they confirmed that all the Olympics will be available to watch on demand and hour after the live broadcast ends.

I already had the app too, but still need to subscribe, worth checking

Can you get Discovery if you don’t have Sky?

 

[Wizpop]

Thank you Teapot

Does anyone know what time the eventing is scheduled to finish Saturday and Sunday?
I'd like to go to a fun ride, without missing any viewings!

I’ve checked and I can watch things. Must be included in some other subscription I have - shows how much notice I take of these things!

Yes, you just need to go to the Discovery+ website and sign up for standard

Eventing dressage on the Sat scheduled to end 5.30pm UK time
XC on the Sunday scheduled to finish by 2pm UK time (but one hold will push that back!)

Thank you @teapot !

Interesting use of space with the pentathlon pool in between the xc course and the main arena

My parents have TNT sports with their Sky package so I need to work out how to get them signed into Discovery. I’m most interested in the dressage and eventing so I plan to spend a couple of weekends camped out on their sofa. If I’m lucky they might feed me…!

I like the gymnastics and diving too, which should be mainstream enough to catch on BBC.

Go to apps (home, scroll down)
Press ok (round button with a spot on it)
Scroll to discovery follow instructions

Well that’s what I did!!

What channel is Discovery + on Sky does anyone know please?

 

[Shoei]

So I have a question! I haven't normal tv, just stream etc. Can I watch the red button on the Internet?

There will be an online stream on the BBC website which you can watch on a tv via the iplayer app, whether they'll put the red button stream online who knows.

Love the picture of her Olympic manicure that Laura Collett put on Facebook!

It’s an app not a channel. Go to apps then discovery+ then follow instructions

Thanks, teapot, I have renewed my subscription to discovery+. £3.99/month special offer.

According to my account my previous membership had lapsed in Sept 2021, so although I’d completely forgotten about it I must have joined it before just to watch the Tokyo 2020 games .

Yes

 

[AnShanDan]

I just looked up how the eventing starting order is drawn, it's a bit complicated but I've copied the rules below for anyone interested

 

[teapot]

Who do we think will be GB pathfinder? Ros is probably the coolest under pressure.

Oh will she be the anchor? I'll go Tom, Laura, Ros but could be completely wrong

Does anyone know when dressage times will be out?
I have a fun ride I want to go to Saturday and trying to decide on my timeslot...

Interesting reading this re the subsitution pens:




Used to be 200 I think, and elimination was 1000?

Well there’s our first team change - Becky Moody in for the dressage team.

Will leave it to the other threads to discuss the whats and whys.
