mmm. Well. They’re not machines. Imho Hale Bob had an off day too. Looked like he was struggling for fitness.

It was all going so well! We could still win the team gold could if the other three show jump well? Not a huge amount of fences in hand - eek!

7 eliminated 2 retired. And two of the eliminations were falls on the flat weren’t they? ??

I watched the dressage and he looked weird in the contact to me, almost blue tongue looking (probably going to get slammed for saying that). I was very surprised with how high he was scored (I also thought Bob was a little over marked as he seemed a bit tense to me).

Poor Ros, not her day. He just completely switched off, and when they are that big and strong there is nothing you can do about it. Gutting for her especially after the Tokyo disappointment.
GB put in a great showing otherwise, all other riders including the individuals are in the top 10. It’s going to be extremely close tomorrow, there is barely anything between the top riders…

It's annoying to be dropping Ros' dressage score as it was so well marked but yes still a team chance. I didn't watch his dressage but he is a very strong horse with a tendency to go a bit 'deaf', she must be gutted. Makes a bit more sense why perhaps they weren't the first choice for Tokyo along with him not travelling as well as some of the other competitors.

I went out after Nicola's round, to see to mare. Can't find the cross country now on iplayer (just dressage and showjumping European championships). Is it genuinely not there or am I being really dim??

It was definitely there earlier as I watching it too before I went dog walking
I *think* from memory this has happened before and there's a delay in a programme ending & it being available post live on iPlayer. Fingers crossed its there later!teapot

I think the tv coverage hasn't been great. The tv angles were a bit dodgy, we didn't follow horses through. It's difficult to really get caught up with it.

Some of the cameras were in strange places for showing the action. Poor commentators, remember them trying to work out Cathal Daniels' refusal, he must have had one because he hadn't emerged from behind the trees! Why have a camera on the far side of a tree from a fence???

the camera positions were well dodgy! They put several fences behind trees from the camera's angle. daft!

I think the bbc coverage has a delay of about 30secs from the live results page.
It was matching the results page this morning.

Think it depends on bandwidth and internet speeds too, same for a lot of sports.

Incredible to think Tina was the last Brit winner in 2009, only Piggy (silver in 2009) and Nicola (bronze in 2017) have won individal medals since at European level!
