The thread of all Olympic Threads

[OrangeAndLemon]

Ben Maher is qualified for tomorrow

 

[Tiddlypom]

I wasn’t watching, but that is why I don’t care for the much less experienced nations being in the horse events at the Olympics.

 

[Zoeypxo]

Well done to the judges for ringing the bell!

I stopped watching, what happened?

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I stopped watching, what happened?

A very tense and speedy horse, rider didn't seem concerned.

They knocked a few down, had a run out and after the course was rebuilt, continued but were taking poles (and unusual angles to fences)

I stopped watching, what happened?

A rider from Thailand had no control of her horse and was just flying round without seemingly taking a pull. Poor thing kept going but not nice to watch. Poles flying everywhere.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Cian O'Connor will not be through to tomorrow sadly.

Up to a point but would you have expected Japan to take Eventing Bronze some years ago.

Ben has qualified for the next round tomorrow. Does anyone know if they add the 2 days scores together and lowest scores jump off against the clock ?

No they start again tomorrow. They don't carry these faults over.

 

[Merry Maxmas]

Does tomorrow's start at 9am?

 

[Bellaboo18]

Also, I looked her up, and she competes in France mainly (and there's one or two saner-looking rounds online).

They mentioned she's based in France.

 

[merry neddy man]

20 clears, 1 with 1 time fault, and 9 on 4 faults.

 

[Traks]

Get this poor horse out of the ring

It was awful wasn’t it?! Judges right to eliminate them

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Brilliant gold in the women's cycling sprint, including breaking their world record!

 

[teapot]

Track cycling starting in the best way possible!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Start list for tomorrow will be today's top 30 reversed.

Ben Maher will go third.

Does anyone know if there's a further trot up tomorrow morning? I'm worried that Dallas Vegas Batilly may be a little sore after her misunderstanding with the wierd wall today. I hope she is fit and well tomorrow.

 

[teapot]

No trot up @OrangeAndLemon

Start list is here: https://olympics.com/OG2024/pdf/OG2024/EQU/OG2024_EQU_C51(S)B_EQUOJUMPINDV----------FNL-000100--.pdf

Starts at 9am UK time, Ben third to go, Scott 19th, Harry 20th to go, and will go to a jump off if needed.

 

[Zoeypxo]

Exciting.. can we get another medal

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

We hopefully have a medal chance in the women's 800m this evening. Although the BBC have done a cartoon graphic of her, and several of the people they've done one for have fallen by the wayside

 

[criso]

BBC red button channel showed a couple of the SJ rounds on BBC red button.

 

[MuddyMonster]

Are the times of each rider out yet? I appreciate the order is out but can't see times there.

They don't publish individual start times for the sj

 

[Equi]

Just caught up on fast forward. The Irish were drinking red bull and Julian forgot to take his jet engines off!!

So glad Ben got through that wall was such a heartbreaker! Very unexpected.

What the heck was going on towards the end with THA and another round I forget who.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Gold in the women's 800m!

 

[MuddyMonster]

Gold in the women's 800m!

She seems so lovely too, thoroughly deserved!
