Eventing: Showjumping Thread

Great news for Team GB and I'm also glad Ranco is through, for me they are the stars of this competition (sorry to be totally unpatriotic!). A shame Just Chocolate has not presented, hope the pocket rocket is OK. Team NZ all through.

Think everyone is in love with Ranco! :)

All 4 from Sweden through, wasn't Linda eliminated though?

I wonder if they've cancelled that? From what I remember, she finished her round and the commentators were saying the elimination was for rejumping an A element after a B refusal? It's not a fault!
 
Yes I hope so Lexi because Ingrid did exactly the same and was not penalised. Nice to see Brazils 4 have all passed.
 
Very glad to see so many horses through after what was a rather testing day yesterday - testament to how fit they were and ultra careful (and sensible) management from all concerned.

Presumably the ground jury were busy last night! All 4 Brazilian horses have passed too, so that must mean Marco's elimination has been overruled.
 
While we're waiting (over an hour to go), what shall I make for dinner? Choices are: a south Indian style chicken curry - lots of coconut milk, a chicken stir fry using up the last of the korean-style barbecued chicken we had last night plus various veggies and noodles, prosciutto and emmental ravioli in a simple tomato sauce with garlic bread or burgers with corn on the cob and German-style potato salad . . . bearing in mind that I have quite an important meeting in London tomorrow so can't afford to be having garlic breath or anything that might repeat too much.

I am on lunch at work! Need to go back in a min. I managed to watch most of the XC yesterday by keeping in minimised in the bottom of my screen with headphones on and still doing some work while watching. My boss is in today so not sure if i can risk it and do it again! :eek: :D

Again wasn't Marcio eliminated ? Huge confusion on results going up and then changing and the BBC website is absolutely rubbish with regard to listing scores etc

I assume he had it dismissed on appeal - it was all a bit messy at that water jump!

he must have had it dismissed, think that moves Brazil up the medals table too.
FEI website has only got 3 for Sweden though, and 4 for Brazil in the team standings.

I'm relying on this page to keep me up to date!
Iplayer and twitter blocked at work and my O2 network is down so cant even watch on my phone

that is a shame, she was placed quite well after xc too :(

Yup! Poor girl.

Looks like Yoshi and the Duke of Cavan aren't jumping either according to that start list :(

Commentators have just said that the scoring graphics aren't accurate. The change to the Brazil score has pulled them up to 7th ahead of us. Did Marco go clear then? I just remember his water incident!
