Olympic Eventing xc thread

That's confusing - everywhere is just saying lots of time faults. Equally irritating tbh! I really thought we had a chance of some good, fast clears this year.

TV just said she's clear?

think TV is wrong. I'm not sure the commentators saw the fence she had the refusal at apparently?

It was fence 11B which is the Pan Am wall/corner fences? don't think we've had any shots of them for a while.

FEI live updates page seems to be ahead of the TV coverage.

I know we are lying 4th at moment on 252.1 but NZ are on 97.3 with Jonelle to go and Germany on 107.3 with Ingrid to go, so to be honest unless horses don't make the trot up the chances of us getting a medal are not looking good (and much as I would love to see us win a medal I would hate for it to be that way)

Now lying 5th as Jonelle had 8 time faults and NZ are lying team 2nd

Its a shame as GB riders are normally brill across country and you would have taken bets against all of them coming back with jumping penalties. Good that its not pure dressage though.

NZ and Germany both only have 3 horses, so if 2 horses there don't trot up....is what I was getting at :)

I think its NZ that only have 3?

Hey, stranger things have happened!

Not that I'm clinging onto forlorn hopes or anything...
 
Ingrid never looks the safest to watch! Wouldn't mind a sit on her horse though!

The Germans always look smart with their browbands in the team colour.

Jonelle's score has seen NZ go into the lead, but it depends on how Ingrid gets round now.
