Olympic Eventing SJ Thread

The British team look very smart in their beaglers. Brilliant result to all concerned. The purple makes me think of when Silk Cut used to sponsor the Hickstead Derby.

Yes, but tell your relatives to look at the size of their country and the number of people they have to choose from compared to other nations - of course they would win more medals - their odds are better!

And we got ALL of our riders in the top 20. Had William and Nicola jumped again, perhaps they would have gone up. Thats the way it goes.

Zara is probably our future "robot" hope - she has had a lifetime of the spotlight and is so unflappable under pressure. Her and her horse are so young, they could soon be giving Germany a run for their money..

Well yes there is that, we are only small, at least the americans didn't beat us ;).

I think our riders look so super smart in their more traditional dress, nice to Toddy still on the podium as well
 
Well, we sure looked the smartest together! Proud to be British. Very proud to say 'our' sport won a medal.
And just to say, above all, Mary is extra wonderful - her smile and enthusiasm is totally infectious!!
 
Two gold medals for his birthday! Not bad eh! Bet he will be having a party worth crashing tonight!!

In the true British crazy style of this olympics, I think they ought to play happy birthday while he is on the podium.
 
I have just had the most fantastic day, ive taken some good pics and have the victory laps of the medalists on video and as soon as i can figure it out i'll upload them, team GB you were fantastic a well deserved silver medal.
 
I felt so sorry for poor Sara, I think I knew she would have one. I'm sure many of us have been there, I know I have albeit at a lower level, you think it's in the bag, and then devastation at the last, you might try hard not to ride it like that but she's only human. Apparently she was in floods after too, poor woman - although individual silver is not to be sniffed at :)

I hope they all make like showjumpers are get totally ratted this evening, grooms included, it's been a hard few months for everyone involved, with no days off :)
 
Eventers generally don't have a problem partying, Stencilface. ;)

I think at least some of the horses will be flying tomorrow, although probably more the ones belonging to people who drowned their sorrows last night.
