We;ve won gold in the showjumping!!!!!!!!!

 

[jaynec]

Oh my god!!!!!!! Well done men!!!!!!!!!

 

[cd8jbr]

I feel so chuffed for them! It's been a looong time coming but they so deserve it.

Maybe now we will get more publicity for the sport again.....just what we needed for ALL equestrian sports.

 

[Blitzen]

Some fantastic riding, what a competition! Heart stopping stuff! Just amazing!!!

 

[Boxers]

Fantastic.

I was screaming and clapping, jumping the jumps for them almost!

 

[lula]

Finally after 60yrs British show jumping brings home another team gold and shows the world we ARE the masters!

BRILLIANT!

[merrymeasure]

So proud! Well done! x

 

[lula]

christ, do the saudis REALLY need draw reins on their horses in the victory parade to collect their bronze medal?

 

[Red30563]

Fantastic!

Hopefully this success and the huge crowds at Greenwich will persuade the BBC to show more equestrian stuff in the future.

 

[millhouse]

Terrific! Very well done indeed.

 

[TeamChaser]

They all kept their cool brilliantly under immense pressure - well done guys!!!!


Thought the crowd did a brilliant job also of keeping slightly contained so as not to frighten the living daylights out of the horses Superb support for our athletes as we've seen throughout these games so far Triple X - what a dude!! So chilled and I swear he knows he's an Olympic champion!


Just fantastic!

[no_no_nanette]

What a brilliant display of horsemanship, a real nail-biter, and fantastic victory for Team GB!!

 

[Orangehorse]

What is there to say -but SO WELL DONE. Fantastic.

 

[freckles22uk]

Just brilliant...

 

[daviedevs]

Fantastic..though not sure if it was good for my blood pressure!!!

 

[Honeylight]

I feel so chuffed for them! It's been a looong time coming but they so deserve it.

Maybe now we will get more publicity for the sport again.....just what we needed for ALL equestrian sports.

....But it is cycling that's headlined on the newss online, the show jumping only 3rd in the list....oh I forgot you can't keep a horse in a tower block.

Fantastic result though, I have waited & waited for us to do this; I remember Marian Coakes & Stroller at Mexico. Really hope it does boost equestrianism but I won't hold my breath.

christ, do the saudis REALLY need draw reins on their horses in the victory parade to collect their bronze medal?

Were they jumping in draw reins? I thought they were against the rules?

 

[Freddie19]

Were they jumping in draw reins? I thought they were against the rules?

read the quote, draw reins in victory/medal presentation.....still pathetic though.
Once again on my quest for Sultan......BRING BACK SULTAN...

 

[HashRouge]

I WAS THERE!!!! It was incredible, what an atmosphere and omg the tension during the jump-off was insane!!!! Utterly incredible

And I was there with a last minute ticket (bought 5 days ago) and had a brilliant seat, so if anyone fancies the dressage or SJ individual, my advice is keep trying

 

[jennyf]

I was soooo excited. On the edge of the armchair. Well done TEAM GB.

 

[Slightly Foxed]

Brilliant!! I'll bet Ben's prices will go up now, but, yay, he deserves it!

 

[attheponies]

Just a fantastic well done to horses, riders, grooms and all involved!
