Olympic Eventing XC Thread

[only_me]

Buzz is out soon - can't wait to see how he goes round this

There is a vet on every jump

Thats great planning and H&S, but I hope all the vets have to worry about all day is refilling their tea mugs

Did MR's air jacket split too?

I wondered that - there was some sort of airbag poking out of his back! Plus he didn't seem in the great hurry people seem to be in to get it off once its gone off.

 

[gadetra]

Is that a 'hit air' that MR was wearing?

Don't think so

 

[Rowreach]

Can't begin to imagine how would feel making an error & coming off at that level. Poor man

He is used to it

 

[teapot]

Ah damn you BBC!!

 

[Azabache]

I think that turn in the arena will catch a few of the less experienced riders out.

 

[stencilface]

WTF!!! put the eventing on! gah!

 

[LouS]

ARGH I've lost coverage, BBC1 has stopped and BBC2 isn't on yet.

 

[armchair_rider]

Yay I finally have internet to go with the TV and the day off work (I hid from my boss yesterday so we couldn't discuss the prospect of my coming in).

Now hurry up BBC I don't want to watch your adverts

 

[measles]

Michelle very slow

 

[3Beasties]

Why aren't they showing the 2nd water jump!!!

 

[chestnut cob]

How do I get BBC2 online now they've switched over from BBC1?! I'm watching on the BBC Sport website...

Go Nic!

Everything crossed - inc my legs!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Nicola the next to start!! COME ON BUZZ!!

 

[Trolt]

The stress in the Trolt household at the thought of missing Buzz! The expletives at the BBC2 adverts and the opening titles are not to be repeated

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

switch to the online equestrian feed rather than 'by channel' one as thats uninterupted

n.b. everything crossed for Buzz!
