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?

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

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

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.

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!!!
