Olympic showjumping

I agree with NicNac - Id have put Tim in the team over Peter (but I'm basing that on horse power alone). I know Tim had a bad show at last trial, but up until then his form was brilliant (and if I remember correctly I think Peter had a bad show just after teams were announced - Im happy to be corrected though).

What does this mean now? Do we have any chance of medals???

All to play for, we finish on 4 faults and there is another round tomorrow.

However there are some very strong teams yet to jump today, any of which are capable of three clears, so we've got to hope they have some faults or we'll be really lucky to get a medal.

We're not out of it by any means, but 3 clears would have been really useful.
 
Random qu alert!!
I no the jumps all represent British things but wots the significance of the fire fillers in the triple-really annoying me cos can't work it out!!
 
Yes forgot Guy :o or Tina Fletcher...... and the Whittakers..... gosh glad I'm not a selector!

Good to see Matt Williams youngster coming out a lot more confident today - wonder what they did since yesterday to get his confidence levels up?
 
Tbh the Team GB scores are exactly as could have been predicted from beforehand, Nick and Ben the class acts, fantastic rounds, Scot really good but new partnership and the 4th place in team always the problem. I am sure many will disagree but I would rather have seen Michael there instead of Peter on recent form. Still can't complain too much at total of 4 faults. Go Team GB!

And now faults for the Americans too!

Definitely puts the pressure on for their other team members.
 
This is not what I expected!

Unsportingly hoping this keeps up and puts GB in a strong position for tomorrow :D
 
Supertrooper - faults for all the first riders of the second batch of teams except Brazil!
 
Lots of faults in this second "better" group :D 4 faults starting to look better and better, keeping everything crossed! I love this course, so beautifully designed :)
