Olympic Eventing xc thread

The russian rider that withdrew, wonder was it the one who didn't look completely sound in dressage?

I can't see many people going direct at the cottage/gate combo.

Flip gemma not having a good day!!
 
We need to remember that it's not dear old Aunty Beeb who bring us the pictures but the Olympic broadcasting service. So the Beeb can't dictate what pictures we see.

It's a tricky little course. Problems spread out which is what you want I guess

Gemma having a bit of a mare ��
 
Thanks for info re: the pins. Poor Gemma, horse looked a bit surprised and now with this refusal he's just eyes on stalks, strong and dare I say it naughty. Not sure which Russian withdrew. I don't like this course to be honest, it just looks really very big, the ground is very undulating and tiring, the time is exceptionally tight and there seems to be a lot of checking and hauling about needed for a large number of fences.
 
I'm absolutely gutted for Gemma. She's such a good, reliable horse and then the one time it does all go wrong, it's at the Olympics :(
