The equestrian events are not all glitz and glamour Australia's Jamie Carmond was one absent after testing positive for cocaine metabolites on the first day of competition

Canada escaped penalties as Mario Deslauriers and his horse Baldolina 2 qualified with a time of 8476

Among the services you may want for these games, Peacock will help you watch highlights at night, and Sling TV and Fubo TV will help you catch the games on tape delay

The Olympics are a global event and can be seen in almost every country on earth However, if you are not in your home country and your usual service does not allow you to watch the equestrian events at the Tokyo Olympics, or if you prefer to watch them in your native language, you are not out of luck

With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you are surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by power outages) and access the same streaming services you are already paying for a VPN is completely legal, inexpensive, and easy to use

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN It offers great speed and excellent customer service However, there are other VPN options out there

The VPN is incredibly easy to use

1 Install the VPN of your choice As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite

2 select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select UK from the list

3 Sit back and enjoy the action Go to your favorite website or streaming service and tune in

If you want to watch live equestrian action from the Tokyo Olympics, it's time to get caffeinated and look for your cable/streaming login, because you'll need it at NBCOlympicscom The games will also be broadcast on NBCSN and NBC (often rebroadcast on tape delay)

Of course, Peacock's nightly broadcasts will likely include updates

USA and NBCSN are part of the $35/month Sling TV Blue package, and Olympic watchers will want the Blue package, which also has NBC Olympic channels are also available as an add-on for $11/month

Sling is one of the best streaming services, along with the other services we recommend for Olympic viewing: Fubo TV has over 100 channels (more than Sling), including all the networks mentioned above

To watch all the competitions live, we recommend subscribing to Discovery Plus, which provides coverage of all Tokyo 2020 events, and all Olympic equestrian events will be broadcast on this service

Discovery is currently offering a free three-day trial of this service, after which a full subscription is available for £699 per month or £2999 per year Additionally, the service is streamable on a number of devices, including Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV, and apps for iOS and Android

BBC iPlayer used to be the primary source for all Olympic coverage for people in the UK, but things have changed

The BBC no longer has a monopoly on Olympic coverage in the UK, as the IOC has sold its major European broadcasting rights to the Discovery network As a result, BBC coverage, while still good, is limited to no more than two live events at a time

Americans abroad can use any service they like by logging in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN

Details are not necessarily strong here, as Sportsnet, CBC, and TSN share Olympic coverage, so we have some, but not all, of the details you might need Unfortunately, none of the networks cover equestrian events

However, TLN does broadcast most of the games

Again, Americans can use services such as Peacock, Sling, and Fubo by logging in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN

Downunder, Aussies can watch the Olympic equestrian events for free on the 7Plus network streaming service Simply add 14 hours to the following Eastern Standard Time to get the start time of the games in Western Australia Eastern Standard Time
