Olympic Eventing xc thread

Everyone wants Ranco! I thought that was a lovely round - not pushing it, just brave and honest.

Hurrah for the French bloke having a stop but gutted for Clare :(
 
The next 5 after the Italian will be interesting to watch as there are few more experienced - Chris Burton, WFP, Tim Lipps, MT, MJ.
 
Poor Clare, just not a good day. No idea what happened to Catherine Robinson. I'm watching on Sky Freesat channel 480 with commentary by Mike Tucker and Ian Stark and there really isn't much in the way of updates or what's happening when we don't see it, just commentary for what you see on screen.

2 stops for Clare and they have no discount score after Padraig McCarthy's fall :(

be interesting to see which horses pass trot up tomorrow.

That's all they see too
 
Poor clare :( sparky not on form today :(


Wonder if riders are backing off a bit too much in an effort to be safe? And having more of an effect on horses who are used to being ridden forwards & attacking.
 
I'm slightly behind everyone as when I switched to 472 (sky) it went back a bit. Did the Chilean rider have a refusal or did he have 42.8 time faults?
 
I know it's still reasonably early, but to have 1 clear in the time and 2 with no jumping faults just time penalties doesn't look good for the sport. Not sure whether it would be better to play safe and go the longer routes at the bogey fences or just crack on.
