Show some of the Irish Come on bbc!

not bbc's fault for once, they're given the feed is produced by a company specifically for Olympics rather than a national corporation, theoretically to ensure fair showing of all competitors and no national bias towards home nation....

This is very annoying - Michael Ryan at fence 13 and thats the only bit we have seen of him

 

[scheherazade]

Michael Ryan over fence 19

 

[TiddlyPups]

Had the French horse lost a front shoe?? Looked like he slipped a bit going round one of the turns.

 

[TiddlyPups]

MR currently 20secs slower than CB - I thought CB is pretty well known?

 

[maxie]

Is Micheal Ryan started yet?

Yes, through the arena, 20 secs slower than Christopher Burton, fastest so far.

[maxie]

Seems to be less shown of Michael Ryan & Ballylynch than the other riders... still clear at the gardens

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Ah ok, sorry bbc!

its also why think we're getting occassional comments from MT and IS about what they'd rather we were shown!

 

[stencilface]

Really hope NW has the good brakes and steering in today - that is steep and twisty!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Yay! 5.2 pens for the germans!

We're all so sporting unfortunately he's currently a drop score anyway!

 

[TiddlyPups]

Does anyone know what score Michael Jung got yesterday?

Run out for Mueller

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Nepal Du Sudre is stunning!! Would happily steal!!
