European Eventing Champs

[humblepie]

Am happy with the BBC for a change as see the eventing on Saturday is on freeview 301 so recordable unlike Olympia which is computer red button (boo hiss). What with that and the Belgium grand prix, better get the housework done tomorrow as no chance of anything getting done over the weekend.

For housework, read tack cleaning and sorting out lorry for Monday...

Can some one tell me which 4 of the 6 british riders are the 'team' riders?

Thanks,

Nicola
Piggy
Mary

[Saucisson]

There is supposed to be a "best of today's action" at 19h here: http://www.equidiawatch.fr/#/home Not sure if free or not.

Thanks! Might have a chance of seeing it if it's free.

Great job Piggy!! Into 2nd on 40.4!!

 

[Kal]

Well done Piggy

 

[Kal]

The team will be lying 2nd going into tomorrow with Germany 1st.

That German whos just gone into 1st place, came up with a score of 37 then flashed up with 35.40 so it must have been added up wrong to start with.

 

[holzrokz]

which riders are in the german team?

 

[Turitea]

Andreas Dibowski
Ingrid Klimke
Sandra Auffarth
Michael Jung

 

[holzrokz]

thanks

Gutted for Nicola as she really deserves to do well. The big question is will the Germans all be able to get round the XC clear?

With Chris Bartle's help they probably can nail biting stuff!

I hope Imperial Cavalier can contain himself tomorrow!

Just after their performance at WEG (which was pretty terrible) then Ingrid had a terrible fall at Badminton and Andreas has sold his top horse Butts Leon.

I thought she would of taken Kings Temptress as she is a bit more reliable

But perhaps Kings Temptress isn't quite ready to win a indivdual medal, which Imperial could do if he contains himself


Well done to everyone. Gutted for Nicola, but pleased for Piggy

Action has started again today. Anyone know why Polly Stockton withdrawn???

Good Luck to the remaining 3 British riders left to go.

Poor Polly

 

[amyneave]

Poor Polly. It Laura and Rayef now. Good luck to them!

 

[lex2501]

Fabulous score from Laura and Rayef!! Into 3rd on 35.6

Excellent score. I saw her test last year at Burghley and she presents her horse absolutely beautifully, it's jaw-dropping how good she is esp on the flat!
Gutting for Polly, such a shame, terrible timing.

 

[amyneave]

Rayef equal 2nd with Germany's Sandra Auffarth.

The British Judge had her 1st, the German 7th. Interesting

I agree, they make such an elegant picture and it all looks so light and soft!

I really hope Imperial Cavalier manages to keep his head - he has the potential to do such a fantastic test if he allows Mary to ride him! It doesn't bode well that Piggy said that the atmosphere got to Jakata - fingers crossed!

Just seen this

[Custard Cream]

I noticed someone said the XC is on freeview 301 tomorrow, anyone know what channel this is on sky?

Its on BBC1 red button from 9.25am

 

[Custard Cream]

Ah OK, thanks....just searched the sky listings and they are showing highlights on BBC2 Sunday afternoon too. T

Just been going through the breakdown of results and it seems a bit dodgy how the German judge has been scoring their riders so much higher than the other two

For example
Sandra Auffarth 74.62/75 from GBR and DEN then 79.62 from GER
Julia Mestern ranges from 68 to 76


then for Laura Collett
GBR 77.31
DEN 78.46
then GER 73.46

It seems so stange for the scope is marking differences

 

[lex2501]

Amazing score for Mary!!

38.8 puts them 6th!


GER judge had them in 13th but other 2 in 3rd - something very dodgy going on here....

I looked at the results earlier and something like his top 5 was all German. And he had given the other Germans high scores it seemed.

 

[amyneave]

Go Mary!!!

Just checked results again. This looks very dodgy. German Judge has marked most of the German riders much higher than other judges, and marked other nations down. He hasn't done it with all the Germans, but he has with the ones that matter.
