    So glad everyone is taking the heat into consideration for both riders and horses. A few days ago it was around 100 degrees here and I passed out while riding. Hoping everything goes smoothly for everyone in the Olympics.

      Legally I don’t think they can. The rights to show the Olympics belong to NBC and as the exclusive coverer they will almost certainly not allow FEI to show the footage live or even in large clips. The most we will see will be 1-2 riders in clips, and it will likely be after the Olympics ends. Your best bet is to get the NBC streaming app or follow Olympic Channel on tv.

      Not sure what your question is... what do you mean by diffuse? If you're talking about television coverage, I would imagine it's different based on market/country. In the US, NBC has the rights to air. Likely a broadcast network in France will carry the games for you to watch.

      They haven’t got a say as their government gave it the go ahead. They haven’t got a choice in the matter anymore as they gave it the go ahead and then decided to pull out 3months before hand. Horses are being shipped and it’s not good for them to just keep flying back and forth because people can’t decide

      I think it’s best to be more cautious, if there is an outbreak it could cause the games to be cancelled. That happening would waste a lot of time and money for both the competitors and the people who made the event, so I think it’s worth it.

      humidity has a big role, thats also the reason they focus on the WGBT index when presenting the temperature, because it takes multiple "heat measures" into consideration istead of just the temperature for eksampel : D

    • @rmfan2092
      @rmfan2092 Před 2 lety +4

      It is for many Europeans. If you're from the the southern US or other parts of the world, it honestly isn't much at all, even with humidity. This is normal conditions for Florida and actually can get far worse.

      It depends so much, 30C here in Finland is different than 30C in Japan. In Japan it feels MUCH worse because it's so humid you feel like you can't breathe.

      Totally agree. The production of all that energy that will be needed to cool down the stables, tents, rooms etc. will at the same time heat up the planet more and more. Why not shift the event to a date when climate is milder?
      And I am here with 36 degrees Celsius NOT turning the AC on for environmental reasons - how stupid am I.

    • @ashgate8773
      @ashgate8773 Před 2 lety +1

      Generally, horses deal with heat so much worse than humans, as they are way more muscled and produce so much heat themselves from exercising. Due to that, they get hotter three to ten times faster than humans. Also they make so much sweat that it does not keep up with evaporating and cooling of the body.
      But generally I agree that the animals should not be shipped, and that the Olympics is a bad idea due to covid.
