Well at least then you could be sure if the horse was enjoying itself...

Steeplechase on tonight. I wonder if it would be improved if a horse got to shotgun the athletes in the head should they fall over the hurdles.

the climbing on right NOW on bbc (not sure what it's called, slowly-ish making your way up a very big tall wall) is amazing! An earlier version (not-quite-as-slowly going up a smaller wall with more empty spaces?) was pretty good but this thing is nuts. The ones yesterday where they sort of levitate up a wall in about 5 seconds was also impressive but I think I prefer this one.

Mrs.D and I recently watched Meru, some climbing involved.

Yep, just caught up with the men's finals. :D Hopefully they'll also have the women's on tomorrow.

The big wall when you take the rope with you is Lead, the smaller walls without ropes is Bouldering.

Though half the bouldering was parkour-style, and not fully representative of what "proper" bouldering is, but is more common in competitions because it looks fancy, (and thus becoming more common with indoor centres because it's what people see).

I don't do lead because I don't find faffing around with ropes fun, but it was probably more enjoyable to watch because it was purer climbing, and because it was only one person on the wall at a time.
