NBC cut off the last 15 minutes of the individual jumping, switching to basketball. Had to go online to see who won.
They inserted commercials that blasted noise at the end. They would never do this to any other sport.

The coverage for the team jumping was awful. The jump off for Silver wasn’t even shown, cut to track. Totally amateurish for a big name company, it’s quite obvious they haven’t a clue about equine sports. Add to that the coverage of the Eventing, the commentary left a lot to be desired. NBC needs to eference the BBC coverage of the 2012 Olympics which was outstanding.

Commentators need to take a leaf out of the UK commentators book. The remarks that have been made are totally pathetic.

I am extremely disappointed in the lack of equestrian coverage. In my opinion, there has been way too much time spent on volleyball, track & field, and swimming. There are many other events to cover NBC! I am very sorry that I did not know about the live streaming until the second week of competition. I really wanted to see the dressage events. I wasn’t even aware they had taken place until I saw a clip of a horse and rider in a commercial.. I waited all year for that event!! I am pretty disgusted overall with the coverage of these 2016 Summer Games………

Disappointed once again, tuned in for team jumping around 12:30 as scheduled but instead of starting coverage was ending. Don’t know why I bother.

I am angry that the Olympic committee wasted so much time on Michael Phelps, when the time could have been used to air more equestrian events.
