Well I'm not sure the French protest got anywhere in the Eventing so...

This horse doesn't look happy after it's been remounted.

Umm... sorry but who allowed these riders to carry whips and wear spurs? They can barely ride, its 99% of the time totally their own fault if a horse refuses yet the poo horses get pelted and spurs dug into their sides as a result. My 4yo son would be able to use spurs better (not that he'll ever be allowed them).

He's definitely a member of the armed forces, according to the commentators.

Oh, not disputing that! So are half the Italian eventers, technically. I just thought you weren't allowed military uniform at the Olympics.

As I said, I'm not sure the French got that far with their protest about it so maybe it's a myth?

Sorry I was responding to Kylara who said maybe he was representing the military because they were paying for him. Which I'm sure they are, but only because he's actually a member of the armed forces. I can't find anything about whether you can wear military uniforms or not - perhaps because pentathlon has a military background the rules are different?

Eventing's a military sport too.

Oh bless the Czech guy! Two falls and he was still really nice to the horse at the end.

British rider looks very good, nice to see him give the horse a pat to try and settle him as well.

I felt so bad for him they were going so well n cant believe he had a smile after being ditched twice! Nice to give horse a pat.

That last round was dreadful, appalling riding.

I didn't know that. Perhaps the no uniform rule is just a myth then.

The rider needed to be shot. Poor riding obviously caused the problem but the attitude after was really disturbing
sasquatch

Yeah, I thought he didn't look too bad at all either. Do have to admit the fall at the wall was a bit funny as he just seemed to topple over onto the other side.

Mexican rider should be hugging the life out of that horse instead of bragging to the crowd- he carried him around there!!

this Hungarian rider looks like he's holding that horse very very short and really pulling at it.

Is it me or do the riders from the Asian countries all ride with very short reins?

I should be used to it by now but I'm still amazed at all the empty seats!

I'd also like to say it's nice to see the riders who give the horse a pat afterwards. I know not all of them do, but I noticed it yesterday with the women that quite a lot did, even after falls and refusals.

Do you think someone should tell this guy about jump position?
