Olympic Eventing SJ Thread

Interesting thanks Pippipony

But presumably there scores from this morning count as do their afternoon ones meaning they have one dressage, one xc and two sj marks. Confused

No the scores from this morning count towards the team placing, but will qualify for individual competition

Love it how ian stark tries to sound disappointed when someone bar GB knocks one, must be hard not to go 'YEEEESSSSS!'

 

[missy_mare]

Is it only the top three - or if all five riders are in the top 25, do they all go through?? Not confused, much!! x

I *think* even if 5 riders are in the top 25, only 3 go through

 

[Honey08]

Andrew Nicholson now, should be good, really could do without it being!

Two more to Mary...

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Now I feel bad but I'm hoping Nereo has one down!

 

[Chocy]

2 to go til Mary.

Andrew nicolson now

 

[measles]

What time are the individuals on this afternoon?

 

[gadetra]

AN's looking good...

 

[Renvers]

I am sure it is top 25 - so if all ours are in top they can all be in running for Medals.

The team is based on top three scores across all 3 disciplines

this might help

All the scores will count towards there individual placings but team scores are decided this morning after 1 rounds of SJ.

Top 25 riders jumping this afternoon carry dressage XC and 1st jumping round scores into this afternoon

 

[gadetra]

What time are the individuals on this afternoon?

Half two I think.

No the scores from this morning count towards the team placing, but will qualify for individual competition

The ones in the individual this afternoon will carry forward their showjumping points from this morning

So the will have
Dressage
XC
SJ round 1
SJ round 2 to resolve the indiviual placings.

 

[measles]

Well ridden through the treble

 

[scheherazade]

No I'm pretty sure it's the top three from our team

That does seem a little unfair as it could mean that someone gets a higher placing despite being on a lower score, e.g. Tanaka getting placed above Nicky Wilson???

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Wow, what a lovely round from AN and Nereo!

 

[jenbleep]

Super round from AN

 

[missy_mare]

Shamwari's beautiful

 

[gadetra]

Oh Shamwari good luck Ludwig.
One down

 

[angelish]

mary after this one run to the loo again workers

 

[Honey08]

To be honest, even though I'm GB all the way, he does deserve an olympic medal - he's like William and Mary, always up there! Played second fiddle to Mr Todd too many times too.

Good one down for the Swedes so far!

 

[missy_mare]

Pole down

 

[starryeyed]

Shamwaris one of my favourites, such a beauty!

 

[measles]
