OLYMPIC XC thread 1

Exuse my ignorance but how on earth can a rider not be fit enough to cope with the course? You would have thought the Olympics would make them want to be in peek fitness?

do we at least get to choose the discarded score at the end? its the best three chosen at the end isnt it?!

Nope - seemingly if you were a discard dressage then that is it - stupid rule if you ask me, eventing is about THREE phases, not one

Wonder if the commentators have it wrong.

Glad the french had a goor round

 

[only_me]

the short stride looks really odd!

Hmm, I thought the discard scores could come from any of the riders in each phase - shame

[/ QUOTE ]


So did I. I never knew that once you were the discard score that was it!

I thought the discard score was the worst one at the end of the three phases?? Just that the worst dressage is likely to remain the discard.

That's what I thought too otherwise half of these rounds are pointless!!!

Jamaica not only have a bob-sleigh team but an event rider!

WHATS HAPPENING WITH THE GUY FROM CHILE ?

 

[Weezy]

Another lesser nation elim - lucky to stay on!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Don't think he should have tried it a 3rd time.

 

[only_me]

at least present the horse straight!!!!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I just hope Mary,Tina and Sharon go really well - that will help team placing no end if they do

 

[carys220]

aaww no, that's the only chilean rider...

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Night night Issy!!

 

[RachelMcTimoney]

[Rachel_M]

[kirstyhen]

Lucinda Green would not be happy, he was not funnling the horse and keeping it in a tube!

 

[Eira]

Well they should sort themselves out

I have been having kittens as they are making out that the discards are already known - what would be the point in having more than 3 riders!!!

 

[Rachel_M]

JIFFY!!!!

 

[RachelMcTimoney]

hahha you tell him!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Wahey!! Heres Alex!! Go Go GO!

 

[Equus Leather]

Well, am still up. The OH has relented and gone to bed. Good rounds for WF-P and DD. Fingers crossed for the others.

 

[Weezy]

[Jiffy]

YAY Go Alex!
