Olympic Eventing xc thread

[teapot]

Comment from Wfp: 'It’s obviously very disappointing," he said. "To be up there and cock it up is a blow. I hope he’s OK, life goes on. So far Team GB are not doing what we dreamt of.'

Yes London only had 1 of the first 4 complete IIRC which was a shocker after everyone said the course photos looked tame!

 

[Slightlyconfused]

The French bloke looks exhausted

On a slightly more positive note, Padraig McCarthy who had the horrible fall at the corner earlier has said that Simon Porloe is fine (according to twitter anyway!)

Great news

I so love Shane Rose's horse.

 

[Lizzie66]

I think the FEI website have a live scoring update sheet thing?

Thanks for this.

Anyone know what has happened to WFP score ? BBC say he is lying 5th but FEI website has him having 20 jumping faults as well as the time faults ?

Stefano was daft there - should have checked with the FJ if he was clear after such a dodgy jump.

He crossed his tracks so got 20pens.
Sitting 17th

And Kitty King is now on course

 

[teapot]

He was 5th earlier on but has dropped down now

 

[sasquatch]

according to FEI website, Ireland have moved ahead to 3rd after 4 riders have gone on 278 with GB on 288.

so if Gemma is the drop score, and Kitty goes clear, GB will have the lead over Ireland.

although I'm not sure if the FEI one is right? As they say Germany have 107, NZ on 97.30 and US on 50.90

 

[frostyfingers]

Aussie bloke seems to have gone a bit wrong there - horse looks tired.

Aah - makes sense. I watched his round and thought he might have. That is a shame.

Still have one to go and have one eliminated.

 

[LeannePip]

Lets GO Kitty!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Come home safe Kitty!

 

[googol]

Was the aussie stopped cos his horse looked so tired or cos he was eliminated at the water?

he's been eliminated for continuing after that fence I think?
still won't change the Aussie score though.

 

[teapot]

Trot up is going to be even more important with three person teams now

 

[sasquatch]

Still have one to go and have one eliminated.

ah right, makes sense!

I was just confused as there were scores for some teams who still had their 4th rider to go up there, and others who didn't.

 

[LeannePip]

i really feel for the Russian with his flappy boot - most irritating thing ever!

I assumed it was cos he didn't go between the flags when he finally jumped the c element.

 

[sasquatch]

apparently Kitty has had 1 refusal?

as long as she can get round with just the 1 refusal, I think GB could end up with the bronze depending on how the SJ goes.

Suddenly team gold doesn't seem as far away

 

[LeannePip]

I feel a bit choked watching Kitty!

The pressure on her shoulders is immense!

Really!? when was that!?

 

[Lexi_]

Where?! Haven't seen/heard anything about that so far.

 

[teapot]

Appaz she's had a stop

 

[Northern Hare]

Looks like it was at Fence 17 - it's on the score sheet already.

 

[LeannePip]

Appaz she's had a stop

where are you hearing this?
