[Forget_Me_Not]

Still here!!

 

[RachelMcTimoney]

thanks only me...was Poggio unscathed??? wish i'd seen her ...wouldn't wish anyone any harm but couldn't happen to a nicer person on the olympic stage ( i will go to hell now!!!)

 

[Tharg]

Did anyones else's coverage go into a very brief commercial break?

I wonder how many Irish horses there are in total.

 

[Weezy]

William is 5th not 3rd.

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

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

 

[only_me]

[Penguinboots]

Right...I'm off to bed. Good luck to the rest of the Brits!

[Weezy]

The grey and jockey are absolutely cream crackered.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I thought that too!! I though it was best 3 in each phase!

 

[helenandshadow]

Commentators don't sound very happy with the coverage lol.

[BroadfordQueen]

Fixed it, thank heavens!

 

[Weezy]

OMG that grey is SO SO SO SO SO good.

 

[jesterfaerie]

Neither horse or rider look very well, he is not helping and the horse is not jumping very well good job he is honest

 

[Eira]

Brazil horse ----- HONEST

 

[Rachel_M]

What an honest horse. The rider looks like he could have fallen off at any time.

AT fell off- shame!!
Couple eliminated.
WFP and Daisy Dick both had fab rounds

 

[jules89]

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

 

[only_me]

dont worry - scotty keeps saying "at this fence where AT fell off" etc. and "after a disastrous start for the americans when AT fell" etc.

horse looked very lame when we saw a brief glimpse of it

 

[RachelFerd]

how honest was that grey.... looked like the horse nursed the rider home

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.

 

[Boodle]

That grey should be given a medal for sheer honesty.
Or atleast a fit rider.
Bloody hell.

Oh that is pants!! That cant be right!! So say you got a 60 dressage, and you were the discard score, then there really would not be any point in you going cross country, or showjumping, would there??
