Olympic Eventing XC Thread

Is it a 3* or 4* course?

I think it's 4* with 3* alternatives....but am happy to be corrected!

If you have sky its being shown on 450, might be better coverage rather then flicking from channel to channel with the BBC!

Yay, lots of praise for Buzz, and actually some nice discussion of how XC works and placings at the moment for the non-XC peeps rather than just discussion of Zara!

I can't watch in work so will be dashing out to watch on my phone whenever GB are on course... so pleeaase keep us updated those of you who are watching live!! I can't bear the suspense of not knowing whats going on!

Hope we have an exciting day of good, safe XC riding ahead of us with some top class, blow you away, performances thrown in!

 

[3Beasties]

Does anyone else feel immensly proud when seeing equestrianism on mainstream tv? Come on we can get a medal!! I'm so proud of our team

Loved the interview, but WFP looked like a giant, especially as he was closest to the camera

 

[measles]

Excitement barely covers it - I cannot sit still. Think I'll be riding each fence with them all!
