village idiot :D
I thought it was a yellow card offence, not elimination, but I stand to be corrected.

FEI rules say anything from slapped wrist to elimination dependent on the Ground Jury

Does anyone know when the video will be available to watch on catch up? It just says coming atm and I am getting extremely impatient!

It's changed a couple of times. The last thing I read said elimination (post a specific incident I can't dredge out of my memory) but it might very well have been modified since then!

I actually looked up the FEI rules for this as I thought they should be light coloured gloves, however I believe it says light/white gloves or to match the jacket.

Right, have reread the eventing whip rules (page 41 if anyone cares) and elimination is at the discretion of the Ground Jury. It's also a bit vague as it seems to come under the "abuse" heading so circumstance and motivation would be taken into account. We shall see. . . .

I managed to get the BBC app to work on my iphone so have been sneakily watching as much as I could at work today. Wasn't able to watch and follow this thread as well though!
Interesting to read about WFP thinking Lionheart wasn't right. Hope he is ok tomorrow, agree to someone up-thread who said the trot up might be interesting.
Re the whip, I didn't specifically see Toddy use his, but I noticed someone (Karin Donkers I think, but would need to check) use their's after the last. I only noticed because I was fence judging on Saturday and as part of the briefing it was specifically mentioned, that you aren't allowed to use it after the last fence.
Don't however want to focus on something like this after what seemed like a really good day for the sport.

Waffled a lot!
What did WFP say about Lionheart not being right? I missed that.
I was just looking at the results - who would have thought WFP would have been the lowest score of the team post XC. I'm gutted for him, despite being a MK fan, I really thought the man deserved the individual gold, but doesn't look that likely now!
How many individuals go through to the second round of show jumping tomorrow?

Thanks.
Are that 25 decided after the final show jumping?
Seems a shame when you've got your whole team in the first 25, that someone lower down from another nation can bypass the lower two! Actually it all seems a shame to me - it is heavily biased toward the better show jumpers anyway!
ps, No, I thought WFP chose to ride Lionheart. He flew round Bramham...

I'm sure that things would be different if he'd had his first choice of horse, but alas, injuries happen.

Cally H - MT said yesterday that Oslo was his first choice, which is also what WFP alluded to earlier in H&H, but he is off with injury for the rest of the season (was off from about 2 months ago)

Top 25 decided after the first round.

dont know if I have missed it, but is there a trot up schedule anywhere and is it televised?
I doubt it, I suppose the best way to keep up with that will be Twitter

I am sure I saw someone use it twice after the last fence - I thought at the time how mean it was as he was well within the time anyway. Might try and play back the recordings to see who it was, but as BBC was so c*** with its coverage it might have been one I saw online which I had on at the same time.

I read I'm sure that lion heart was his second choice but he was chosen as he is good round tighter courses.
