The thread of all Olympic Threads

[Honey08]

She’s doing really well. Her marks are very similar to Tom’s.

 

[IrishMilo]

Are you watching on the TV?

I'm on a laptop and the quality is great

I’m only watching on my phone, which is only a small screen, and it’s been good so far.

Tried two smart TVs and my Mac!

It seems to be getting slightly better now thank god!

 

[clinkerbuilt]

great job

 

[ihatework]

Such a shame on those changes for her.
The rest of the work was super - so relaxed, poll high out to the contact

 

[Equi]

It was a decent test bar a few blips in the changes.. won’t beat uk

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Good test

 

[KEK]

Oooh Cooley Nutcracker is gorgeous

The extended canter wasn’t great either.

Pretty good for a reserve!

 

[SAS56]

[Equi]

Query time x country starts tomorrow.

Olympic website says 10.30 Paris time so 9.30 here

I thought it was 8.30 here? Anyone know?

It's 9.30 UK time for the xc start time. They're only an hour ahead. The dressage today started at 8.30am our time.

ETS: if you're on the app or the official website, it'll show you the time of the time zone you're in.

Yes, the site is wrong. We are an hour ahead of the Paris games, so lunch is over at 1.15 - and the other tests are an hour before the stated times.

 

[Equi]

Aaaaad we’re back.

We're an hour behind, it's currently 2.10pm in Paris

 

[Honey08]

Back on!

 

[Equi]

Do the riders choose the music? Or is it just random.

 

[SAS56]

We're an hour behind, it's currently 2.10pm in Paris

Whoops!

 

[teapot]

Think it's generic background music

 

[Tiddlypom]

I’d rather no background music, it’s like supermarket Muzak, and as annoying and distracting.

 

[fidleyspromise]

I've just tuned in

 

[Equi]

The “patting” is getting quite annoying.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Is it me or is that noseband low?

 

[Tiddlypom]

Generally I’m a fan of drop nosebands, but not when they’re fitted this low . A lot of mouth resistance - which the commentator described as a ‘contact’ issue.

This wouldn’t have passed a tack fit check back in my pony club days.
