i really dislike these orange jackets of the netherlands

 

[Honey08]

MK interview on BBC1 now

I just wanna hug her!

 

[Penumbra]

Yes, Germany have won because their 4th rider is ahead of zara

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Have we lost the gold even if something went horribly wrong for Ingrid Klimke? Say she got Eliminated..........

even if Tina goes clear, Germany's score is lower even without Ingrids

 

[Mickyjoe]

Any sign of Aoife Clark yet?

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

That was such a lovely little interview with Mary What a great ambassador for the sport she is

 

[scheherazade]

Have we lost the gold even if something went horribly wrong for Ingrid Klimke? Say she got Eliminated..........

I think so because they woudl just drop her score - the three best scores are already accounted for. And the difference between Tina Cook and Nicky Wilson's scores (if Tina goes clear and inside the time) isn't enough to make up the difference

 

[gadetra]

Any sign of Aoife Clark yet?

Not yet. Joe was clear

 

[zefragile]

Mike Tucker managed to pronounce Karin's horse correctly usually it's "Gazelle de la Brassiere"

 

[Honey08]

Meanie!!

I know! I have been cheering Ireland on though.

 

[PolarSkye]

Anyone else rather deflated?

P

 

[missy_mare]

God, I'm so nervous! I want silver, go on Tina.

 

[NR99]

Anyone else rather deflated?

P

No chin up, Silver will still be great - all finished well and healthy and there are the individuals this afternoon

 

[zefragile]

Anyone else rather deflated?

P

Yes, Germany are amazing but knowing the team gold is decided before the final riders even go takes away a lot of the excitement!
Although there's still the tension for the silver.

 

[gadetra]

I know! I have been cheering Ireland on though.

Ok. All Ireland free mean-ness accepted

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Anyone else rather deflated?

P

very and have a horrible horrible feeling about tina's round

 

[Honey08]

Karin has been remarkably quiet in this competition!


More poles rolling in the arena. I think he stole my horse!

 

[missy_mare]

Anyone else rather deflated?

P

Me, I really thought we would be in for gold

 

[Kat]

Just worked it out, we cant get the team gold now whatever happens...

 

[Jump2It]

some classics on twitter after mary's clear round

'go zara great clear'
'zara goes clear!!'

and a little after

'sorry everyone i thought mary king was zara's horse'

 

[Emilieu]

Feel awful for Tina. I'm sick with nerves, she must be terrified

 

[jenbleep]

Does anyone know if you can see the intervies again? I'm watching on red button and it take too long to go from there to BBC1

 

[Honey08]

very and have a horrible horrible feeling about tina's round

Shhhhhhhhhhhh. Get out!

 

[Double_choc_lab]

Oh my god. Brilliant.

Darn so we'd need one of the others to be retrospectively Eliminated too - unlikely....

 

[PolarSkye]

I so hope we manage to secure silver . . . our team have performed so well . . . but now I'm looking forward to the pure dressage - surely they have a real shot?

[gadetra]

Nicholas T having a very classy round

 

[Chocy]

Fight stil on 4 silver we r only 0.2 ahead of NZ c'mon tina it gotta b a clear!

 

[PippiPantoPony]
