Perfect, and as I have been poorly all week and still rotten, that will make Saturday more bearable.

I'm joining the thread rather late in the day as we are away in Italy with poor internet! I am trying to work out how I can possibly watch any of the action tomorrow. I love being in Italy but I am frustrated not to be in Poland, especially as we had tickets for the whole event........

Just noticed that the BBC Red Button coverage of the cross country appears to end at 2.30pm, yet the cross country goes on to 3.30pm. I'll probably set it to record to beyond 3.30pm in case this information is wrong, but it may be that we'll need to switch to watching online (or on a smart TV) for the last hour, which includes the final rotation of team riders.

Morning, can anyone put me in the direction of a start list and times for today. I have the British times but if I can't sit and watch everyone, there will be certain people I don't want to miss. Thank you

I am watching. Does anyone think a lot of the course looks like an equine version of Alton Towers ! twisting turning, pulling pushing no rhythm and forwardness ?

Are they short of space in Poland? It all seems to be up and down the same field!

It's in three fields, the course map is very twisty.

Looked to have been a fatality, the event was held and I had to go out. Has anyone heard the outcome?
I personally thought the commentating team brushed everything under the carpet, if you had just switched on you would have been unaware, an update, or at least an acknowledgement something serious was wrong would have been preferable to silence.

The latest from both FEI and the BBC commentary is that the horse was up and taken to the onsite vet clinic.

That's good news, I thought the time scale was becoming optimistic.

FEI has since announced that the horse broke its pastern and was PTS.

Well in the end a fantastic result or Team GBR, but in future ..... please Mr. BBC, no Adam Cromarty commentary again - words which are not in the English Dictionary (?), changing names and wrong sexes of riders and some funny moments: AC: rider has let her reins go to get through the water.... HM: she has lost her reins. Funny but frustrating.

You don't realise what you have lost until it is gone, Levrier. Come back Mike and Ian!
The commentary was annoying to say the least. Adam swapping from knowledge to ignorance by the moment, even if it was asking questions on other people's behalf, and Harry speaking fast trying to impart every bit of Riding knowledge he has.
I have enjoyed his occasional input before but this time it was too much. He had to tell us exactly how to ride every fence and he told us, they were pushing on now, encouraging the horse forward but never losing contact with the reins, SO many times I could scream!
Sorry, I am usually pretty tolerant of a difficult job.

Just to say you took the words right out of my mouth Chiffy. I was someone who was really sad that Mike retired now I am mortified.
But what a fantastic result for team GB.
