village idiot :D
I thought it was a yellow card offence, not elimination, but I stand to be corrected.
It was definatly one 'good ' one and one sort of one I thought you were not allowed to but wondered perhaps it had been changed since I was completing.
*Numpty newbie-to-dressage question alert*
I thought that white gloves were required in the dressage... most wore them (although Mark T's looked heavy duty enough to prune the roses in)... but I saw several black pairs?
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.

25 go through with max 3 from each nation
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!
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...
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.
Wow eventing just made it on to the news at 10!!!!
