The thread of all Olympic Threads

[teapot]

Wouldn't mind if the Danes won over Germany

Had to go out for a while so was listening on 5live. Commentator was describing the arena in football terms for the uninitiated. She said A was where the left hand goal would be C is the right hand goal

 

[LadyGascoyne]

I do love seeing these fabulous mares at the top. I’m such a mare person.

 

[Equi]

Well we will at least be garunteed a medal which is great for the equestrian teams medals in all 3

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

This kayak cross is mad

 

[humblepie]

Jessica Werndl doesn’t wear spurs - random observation. I’ve only seen about four tests so not sure how unusual

 

[teapot]

It's going to be so close

This kayak cross is mad

Oh must look at that. Heard it being discussed and there’s the road race as well.

 

[Spotherisk]

Oh oh oh, where are we going to be!!!

 

[ihatework]

I’m struggling with the tongue and breathing trending mid-high 70’s in the latter half of this German test, even if some of the work was pretty good

 

[teapot]

God, that was close!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Oh must look at that. Heard it being discussed and there’s the road race as well.

I've got it on the main tv, gymnastics on the iPad but want to see the end of the cycling road race (had it on all morning, can't stand dressage bores me to tears) and don't have enough screens

 

[JennBags]

Well done Germany, well deserved.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

By the skin of their teeth

 

[Kadastorm]

Holy crap, that was SO SO close. I wanted the Danes to get gold but I do love Dalera.

 

[Equi]

Bronze for team gb. Well done!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Another podium finish for team GB equestrian

 

[LadyGascoyne]

That was immensely close! Well done to our team, I think our horse and rider partnerships looked brilliant, especially Becky and Bomba.

 

[blodwyn1]

I preferred freestyle to dalera.

 

[airliner]

Got back just in time for Jessi and Dalera’s test! Oh what a bummer about the bobbles but lovely test overall. Nice to see her with a more open frame. I mean imagine how the score would have been without those bobbles. I do love them but also the Danes were great so overall am awesome team competition!

 

[94lunagem]

I preferred freestyle to dalera.

Me too. I thought Denmark has just snatched it after Germany’s mistake as well.

 

[Rowreach]

It would have been nicer if RV had given credit to the GB team for winning bronze without yet again referring to CJD.

 

[Barklands]

Jessica Werndl doesn’t wear spurs - random observation. I’ve only seen about four tests so not sure how unusual

Yes she does, they’re black

 

[Zoeypxo]

Lots of talent there, and the lovely mares reigning supreme.
Freestyle was my favourite of the day.
Great stuff with GB getting medals in all 3 phases, especially after the recent dramas with cdj.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Well done team GB on the bronze.

How on earth did Dalera’s test wangle nearly 80%?

 

[Barklands]

Not sure if it’s just me but Dalera doesn’t look her usual self, I wouldnt say it was easy watching. How lovely to see Freestyle at Olympics, stunning test with a horse who clearly loves her job.

 

[ihatework]

Freestyle, for me, should have clearly beaten Dalera

 

[humblepie]

Yes she does, they’re black

Ah thank you. Thought unusual

 

[Parrotperson]

This kayak cross is mad

Wait what?!!!

They have to do a roll in the middle of the race?!!!!! This is MADNESS!

 

[Zoeypxo]

pleased for Becky Moody winning a medal at her first olympics!
