Olympic Eventing SJ Thread

[Stilldreamin']

There are two big stories for GB here if either rider could secure Gold- Mary King after all her hard work to win would be fantastic. Tina to bring Miner's Frolic back from the brink of death would be equally incredible.

So looking 2 this afternoon- where does it leave tina etc in individual placings?

Sara A O in 1st Micheal Jung in 2nd Mary in 3rd Tina in 4th

 

[Chocy]

Oooow just seen Mary in 3rd & tina 4th for this afternoon so 2 medals possible!!
Quick lunch & bak on sofa at 2.30

 

[Honey08]

Mary King currently in 3rd, Tina in 4th.

Tina being interviewed now, very cool and unemotional. I bet she will be great in the individuals!

 

[zefragile]

It's a bit sad that WFP won't be in the individual final, whereas people with 70+pen scores get through!

 

[dollymix]

What happens now for the individual placings? Do they have to jump again??????????

Yes

 

[sare_bear]

It seems such a same that the top 25 competitors don't get through regardless of country.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

'Is it going to be hard to refocus?'

"NO!" Says Tina. Atta girl!!

 

[Tempi]

What happens now for the individual placings? Do they have to jump again??????????

I was about to ask the same thing, i'm confused as thought it was all over but apparently not? (Can you tell i do dressage??!! )

Do the people with a Q after their name have to jump again???

 

[Chocy]

Tinas interview-talk about cool!!
Doesn't sound like she's feeling the pressure
Such a shamed William & nicola don't get 2 jump again

 

[measles]

Mike out of sync yet again

Yes, either would be a lovely result.

Someone needs to kidnap Micheal Jung in the break, or his horse - hide it at my house if you like, we have plenty of room for it....

Hope Zara gets a better round, and finishes on a better note for her.

 

[little_flea]

anyone else really gutted for sweden that they didnt get a medal?

Yes! But we were the outsiders anyway so didn't expect it. Fingers crossed for Sara Algotson this afternoon.

Yep they all jump again to decide the individuals going to be nail biting at the top again

 

[willtowin]

Remember how we all thought that Miners Frolic would be rubbish? class by the whole team

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Just seen them talking to Clare Balding, why do they have her on the swimming?!?! She's saying all the things that should be said!!

 

[Merrymoles]

All five GB riders finishing in the top 20 has got to be worth celebrating too! Well done Team GB - stars all of you!

 

[Anglebracket]

Why did Dirk Schrade not qualify? There are only two Germans in the final so it can't be because of numbers. Was there something wrong with his horse (I have missed his round).

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Thanks Bobby and Zefra! Time enough to make lunch and a pot of tea then!!

 

[Firewell]

I'm a bit confused... so we have a team silver but indiviual placings are still up for grabs?

 

[jenbleep]

Yes

 

[Chocy]

Firewall- yrs that's right individual sj on at 2.30

 

[angelish]

feel sorry for claire i bet she was going nuts sat next to the swimming pool being so close but having to sit there must have been torture think i'd have legged it and got the sack

 

[Firewell]

Aw shame we didnt get gold, fingers crossed for MK and TC now!!! Tina just jumped a beautiful round

 

[Feathered]

It's an entirely new course as well so that will be interesting.

 

[pootleperkin]

Blummen hack, I can't see Jung having a fence down in the individ. final - as someone said earlier, I think we need to kidnap his horse Sam! Also the swedish horse was jumping out of it's skin!

Off to do some quick exercising and back for 2:30!
