Well GB are out. :(

But there's been some fantastic jumping and it's team finals today from 2pm.

Who do you tip for the medals?

I'm going with USA for the gold, Germany Silver, and I'll try with Canada for the Bronze.
 
It would be lovely if they won something alright.

Its such a shame about the big hitters, looked like a strange competition! I think USA are in with a good chance. I missed most of the Germans jump but going on their horsemanship, I'd suspect they are in with a good chance.

Wonder what the course will be like...

What happened with Skelton's appeal?
 
USA, Germany, Brazil I hope. No actually would prefer USA, Brazil, Canada - the Germans have enough equestrian metal already ;-)

Think they'll medal again as have some serious horsepower and fabulous riders.
 
Can someone please post starting times for our individual riders? Going to say probably Germany gold, USA silver, maybe Brazil (but probably France!) bronze for team medals.
 
The British hopes and their times are:

Nick Skelton on Beverley Widdowson’s Big Star — eighth into the arena, approximately 10.16am local time (2.16pm British time)
Ben Maher on Jane Forbes Clark’s Tic Tac — ninth into the arena, approximately 10.18am local time (2.18pm British time)
 
Great! There is a fault in the transmission minutes before our only two riders in...... This is def not our showjumping games!!!
 
Is it me ( brain of cotton wool due to cold) or is the awarding of time faults smidgeonly random? One rider under 82 had a time fault, one did not, the last rider was 85.25 and only got one?
