Olympic SJ Team Final Thread

[Lucyad]

It has to be Skelly - he is the only one with all clear rounds.

 

[siobhain]

think the commentators said all four jump?

 

[Charem]

Jesus i'm not even in to show jumping and I don't think i've EVER felt this nervous!

Nick Skelton and Big Star for the win!!!

 

[Nicnac]

Just sneaked a peek at work - OMG!!!!! Jump-off?? Aarrgh but guess that means no worse than silver with gold still in the mix??? Amazing result for Team GB

 

[jenbleep]

Big star. Has to be.

I agree, he has been the stand out GB horse for me!!

(Haven't seen any other countries so can't comment there!)

 

[KatB]

But they may want to save big star for an.individual?

 

[georgiegirl]

Im 99% sure in bejiing it was all four from each team who went through to the jump off, I distinctly remember candas final rider really having the pressure on.....im assuming its the same here?

 

[sallyg84]

And if quickest round is going to win it will Big Star be quick enough? I don't know all the team horses well enough to say which would be best!!

 

[Nicnac]

Wouldn't the Netherlands win as they have 2 riders on 0 faults?

 

[amage]

All four ride

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Ok all 4 will go!

 

[Tangled]

I have no nails left and smoked all my fags! God knows how I'm going to cope with the jump off! Eeek! Come on GB!

 

[teapot]

Anyone else notice how tired the BBC lot look?

 

[sallyg84]

Oh god...confirmed as all four...Peter Charles has to go last AGAIN...the pressure on that poor man!!! And now a storm heading their way. I need a sherry!

 

[ecrozier]

At the moment you would have to say Big star and tripple x both got a shot at an individual....plus they all have tomorrow off....
Not sure. Would make more sense if all jumped again.... Not sure my nervous would hold!!

 

[Daffodil]

God, if the people taking part don't know the format, what hope have the rest of us?!

Come on GB...

 

[ecrozier]

Wouldn't the Netherlands win as they have 2 riders on 0 faults?

Nope its a team competition...

 

[Marydoll]

Oh i cant quote ive done something on my ipad, Sallyg84, pour me one as well as im so nervous for them

 

[Lucyad]

right, the tractors are out - is the course changing at all? Do you know when they start?

 

[georgiegirl]

Dont be dissapointed if we dont quite make it guys even a garunteed silver is absolutely amazing from these guys, gold would be a complete fairytale in front of the home crowd.

I so hope they can pull it off!

 

[JVB]

Ok, all 4 go and if both teams all go clear then it's based on all times added together.

New course, and new jumps

 

[Boxers]

I hope they hurry up, daughter has a lesson at 6.30 and we need to leave the house at 5.30

 

[angelish]

right, the tractors are out - is the course changing at all? Do you know when they start?

yes a shortened course only 8 fences to jump
they go in the same order as before nick then a dutch man then gb then dutch

they said 10mins about 7 mins ago

 

[dollymix]

OMG I feel sick! Can't imagine how they're feeling!!!

 

[Puppy]

All 8 riders are jumping off. I *think* it is then the best 3 from each team to count.

 

[Marydoll]

Good luck team GB theyre all stars to have gotten this far

 

[Emilieu]

Honestly think I might be sick. How do these guys cope?!

 

[Boxers]

MARYDOLL

I have done something to my iPad too. It's all grey instead of browns. And there are not pics or anything, just plain!

 

[ecrozier]

Dont be dissapointed if we dont quite make it guys even a garunteed silver is absolutely amazing from these guys, gold would be a complete fairytale in front of the home crowd.

I so hope they can pull it off!

Oh god, completely.. I don't think ANYONE would have predicted this! So exciting though!

 

[measles]

We are about to pass out with excitement here!! GO TEAM!!!!!!
