Probably biased but our riders jackets/hats/ensemble just look so elegant and smart compared to the others.

They stand out just enough without being all garish and bright like the dutch ones.

So emotional for Jessica, she can’t believe it. I do quite like the German national anthem, it’s very rousing!

I'm sure Pikeur are pleased about their sponsorship of the Germans, plenty of opportunities to see it!

I didn't enjoy that era of dressage either. Charlotte and Valegro were a breath of fresh air and showed the mega marks could be achieved in a different way. Have watched most of this Olympic dressage and am thrilled to see that the younger riders from all nations are riding much more like Charlotte and everything looks so much more flowing.

very impressed at their casual mounting from the ground.
I can’t even mount my 14.1 without dropping my stirrups.

I have loved the amount of coverage that the grooms are getting this year. I think the lack of crowds is part of it but the journalists are mentioning them and they are being shown behind the scenes a lot.
My relative is a groom for an elite rider (not dressage) and they work so hard for not a lot of money so it is lovely to see them being recognised.

Saved them having to knit a medal pouch like Tom Daley I suppose
But then there isn't much room for a medal pocket in his trunks!!!!

i don’t really know what to do with myself now.
Tempted to run up and down the stairs a few times and try and get this baby out. My instructor might then have a free slot for a lesson tomorrow.

yeah it was more a question of what will discovery show, will they be showing it live, and if so, do we watch the second session live and then watch the first afterwards?!
