The thread of all Olympic Threads

[Parrotperson]

They said Versailles, I didn't catch who the other one was but yes Ryan Gosling and partner

And Snoop and Martha Stewart yesterday in full equestrian kit.

Ha! Didn’t see that.
Oh right. I got a bit confused as I found myself watching cycling at one point only to discover it was an ad.

 

[Squeak]

I much preferred Wendy to Dalera

Same

 

[Spotherisk]

IfFreestyle wins gold, how will CDJ be feeling

 

[PolarSkye]

Me too.

Yeah let’s never hope a horse is bleeding so a rider gets eliminated folks.

Hoping for a medal for lottie but if she doesn’t she doesn’t. Id rather have seen Carl or beck get one.

 

[Parrotperson]

Not mentioning Charlotte rode freestyle first is just silly commentators.

 

[Shooting Star]

There is little hope for the sport when you can get rewarded with 90% for a fussy mouth & angry tail

They spoke about that yesterday

She wouldn’t have been riding her for this anyway.

And we’re back to ‘it’s not the test but who you are!!’

All the usual suspects. Mistakes or no.

Maybe AI judging isn’t a bad idea!!

But the freestyle also has the artistic element remember. From my personal perspective the frame and relaxation from Wendy trumped it. Just my pov

 

[Spotherisk]

This rider seems to be talking to Freestyle, there’s a lot of mouth movement, I thought that wasn’t allowed?

 

[Parrotperson]

Dalera going to win now I expect.

Don’t agree it was the best test.

Come on freestyle.

They just did on Discovery/Eurosport

I actually love that Ryan Gosling is there Guess it brings a bit of publicity to dressage

And there's footage of them feeding carrots to some of the horses

I know that, but (and I am not up on all the dressage stuff) I thought she lost the ride in her a while ago?

Hope your mum is ok!

Thank you, I'm back home now, it was fortunately nothing major just her front door had jammed and she couldn't get out of the house

They have mentioned it today as she came in.

I noticed the same thing. Shame about the early bobbles in their test!

Love a bit of celine

 

[Ossy2]

Go Freestyle - let’s have a British bred gold!

(If we can’t have a British bronze)

Happy to be corrected but MSJ did not breed freestyle

They’re having fun!

She wasn't bred in Britain, just bought as a foal and imported.

Correct, she was bought at auction in Germany.

Cross posted with shortstuff99.

Whoops!

Just as well I’m not commentating!

 

[PolarSkye]

Unfortunately not a Gold medal test I don't think . . . but we'll see.

 

[Equi]

Snoops hilarious. If he can bring a good hearty side to it I’m okay with that lol

I don’t know if we ever found out why cdj and msj parted ways but yes it will probably be a little gutting to see her go gold for someone else, though I doubt cdj is watching. I know I couldn’t if I was her.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Some mistakes in that test, it will be interesting to see how those are marked.
