Controversial post but

[blitznbobs]

Congratulations to the British eventing team - well ridden all of you (and Ros you was robbed)

What's the controversial bit?

It’s not controversial at all, have you not been following the lengthy thread in which we have all been saying the same thing

Ros wouldn’t have got an individual medal without the 15 penalties so I would hope that might soften it a bit. Shame it marred the event but they couldn’t stop our team winning gold

Really please for them.

Huge congratulations to them, they were amazing!

Sorry I don't have time to watch the whole thing, would you mind explaining how Ros wouldn't have medaled otherwise? Surely 15 points off would help her get a medal?

 

[splashgirl45]

No because she scored 27.4 dressage and Laura got bronze with a lower score

The thread of all Olympic Threads

Medal ceremony will be after the individual

There was less than 1 pole between top 4 so even with -15pens Ros wasn't in the running

Oh I misunderstood completely what you had written, apologies!
Makes sense now

 

[Dave's Mam]

So pleased for them!

As far as I’m concerned Ros came 5th/6th and GB won with a six fence lead. Those penalties were wrong and marred what was otherwise a fabulous event.
