What time is the equestrian events typically on in the Olympics broadcast?

The equestrian events (dressage, eventing and jumping) are held during the Summer Olympics. Equestrian events are the only Olympic events that involve animals. The horse is considered as much of an athlete as the rider.

The rider must be eighteen years old and the horse must be at least seven years old. Equestrian events have changed drastically since their introduction in 1900. Polo is no longer played in the Olympics.

The most recent Summer Olympics were in Beijing. However, due to the high level of equine disease in Beijing, the equestrian events were held in Hong Kong. There were one hundred ninety-four competitors in 2008, from forty-two different countries.

The next Summer Olympics are in London in 2012, The time slot for the broadcast varies by year and is at the discretion of the broadcaster.

There will be over 56 hours of Equestrian competition at this year’s Olympic Games and FOXTEL will showcase every moment live on one of eight new dedicated channels - which are free to view to subscribers on FOXTEL’s sports package. To watch the Equestrian action unfold as it happens, subscribers can tune into FOXTEL’s London 6 channel once action gets underway on Saturday 28 July. Free to air broadcaster Channel 9 will cover all sports and deliver more than 14 hours of continuous live coverage each day.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
