[pootleperkin]

Very emotionally drained - it's as if the team gold didn't happen.....need to cheer back up

 

[JFTDWS]

phwoar these angles are amazing, what a fast, speedy clear for the dutch

[PolarSkye]

[mle22]

[kirstykate]

[JFTDWS]

Sorry probably being thick but Nick got 4 faults and Cian got 4 faults so why is nick not in the jump off?

 

[Daffodil]

Thanks all for your terrific commentary. Much better and better informed than MT! Got to go now, but so disappointing for Nick in particular. He and his horse have been magnificent all week as have the rest of the team.

 

[BlairandAzria]

God I feel drained and I havent seen any of it, I've only had your commentary to get me through- its been wondeful
But I now feel the need to lie down in a darkened room.

Still team gold is brilliant and by the sounds of it all horses jumped brilliantly today!

 

[PolarSkye]

Gerco Schroder - silver
Cian Cheat O'Connor - bronze

. . . and my Mum's Irish.

[JFTDWS]

last fence for O connor - he was really flying though, seriously fast time

Bronze for Ireland
Silver for Schroder
Gold for Guerdat!

 

[mle22]

Fantastic round - so fast - shame about the last but great to have a medal for Ireland

 

[Feathered]

The team gold seems a long time ago now, I just feel so gutted for Nick, really wanted that individual for him, he so deserves it.

I'll cheer up soon and remember the team gold.

Gotta go through all this again tomorrow with the dressage.

 

[TJP]

Sorry probably being thick but Nick got 4 faults and Cian got 4 faults so why is nick not in the jump off?

Cian only had 1 time fault in 1st 2 rounds

 

[kirstykate]

coz Cain jumped the second round clear

 

[nagseastsussex]

[JFTDWS]

Gerco Schroder - silver
Cian Cheat O'Connor - bronze

. . . and my Mum's Irish.

you're gonna have to enlighten us here, why the O Connor hate

I've never heard of him before, don't follow that much international sj tbh

 

[JFTDWS]

Oh god, we've got dressage to get through tomorrow

Mind you I'm working till after lunch so will probs miss the first few. Included my beloved Rubi

 

[PolarSkye]

Feel a bit deflated really. Harrumph.

Still - we saw some amazing jumping, the courses were beautifully put together and Team GB did us proud.

Stressage tomorrow and then it's back to normal life . . .

[pootleperkin]

He was done for doping after winning the gold individual at the last Olympics - had the medal taken away - at least that's what I remember - please correct me if wrong!
