This morning my team was assigned to the west stand and, in particular, the atheletes' section. This is where any of the equestrian teams can grab an empty seat and see their team-mates or competitors in action. Even with free seating, this is harder to manage than a regular stand with paying spectators, as the teams have many different types of accreditation to check and not all of them are valid for access to the west stand. We had quite a few important people without the correct type of pass that we had to turn away. As you can imagine, this requires a delicate touch, a considerable amount of diplomacy and doesn't always go down well.
This is a photo of a couple of Danish supporters who got my morning off to a good start:

The weather was great this morning, but quickly worsened after lunch. A huge shower competely soaked us, which made the afternoon fairly unpleasant, as we were then relocated to the corridor under the VIP section, where was no sunlight to help dry us out.
Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow!
