The thread of all Olympic Threads

I thought that too. Unless it’s a funky coloured metal bit.

Not sure i’d want anything that could look like blood anywhere near a horse at this level

 

[Equi]

eeeeeek

 

[Kadastorm]

Caspian is a stunning horse. She rode that so well.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

It’s a good experience for him though, I can see him get better with maturity.

another real sweetie

 

[94lunagem]

Eek come on Ros!

 

[clinkerbuilt]

I can't watch

 

[Equi]

Oh that’s a shame. Hopefully not too costly.

 

[SAS56]

Ros looks tinier than ever today

 

[ihatework]

Good fair score for Ros, she will be kicking herself for minor errors. But did highlight just how good LC & MJ were!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well that was better than I expected score wise.

 

[Equi]

Well done ros, another Olympic record!!

 

[94lunagem]

Not her best but good enough. And another Olympic record for the GB team!

 

[jenbleep]

66.6!

 

[Equi]

it’s not lost on me that 666 is the score lol

A fabulous test and mark, but perhaps not quite as on the ball as usual. It didn’t seem quite as switched on as normal. Movements seemed to take a couple of seconds to happen rather than being instant, if you know what I mean.

He lacked the usual Walter-eske vibes for whatever reason I feel

they both seemed slightly tense/muted

Those time trial cycling hats are something aren't they? (I've got it on laptop)

Aren't they just!

British rider got a puncture, he's not far off time wise but it cost him time

Yes I think that. Like the extended trots and canter seemed to struggle to go forward well. It kind of wasn’t firing properly. Still a great test, but without the panache somehow. It feels mean saying this, because it was still right up there.

 

[teapot]

Team scores:

GB - 66.6
Germany - 74.1
New Zealand - 83.1
Japan - 87.4
USA - 88.9

I actually think I liked it better than la to be honest. More relaxing.

All to play for tomorrow- pin/flag/cheeky run out GB needs to avoid please!

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Trying to rewind to watch Ros...who was she before after?

 

[humblepie]

Men’s time trial sounds exciting. Listening on the radio. Go Josh. Shame about the puncture.

 

[Honey08]

Individually it’s quite spread out.
Laura 1st
Ros 6th
Tom. 10th

She’s in between Brazil and Switzerland

 

[teapot]

The Germans are surprisingly spaced out too!

 

[humblepie]

On the radio they are covering the dressage and very interesting interview with Ros Canter about her mental training. The main commentator keeps calling Laura Laura Co-lett.

Doh Josh Tarling 4th with puncture. Pleased for Remco though.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Isn't she nice?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Such a shame Josh got the puncture or he'd have probably picked up a medal
