The thread of all Olympic Threads

Question for the experts: why would someone (Pietro Sandei) compete for team only, not individual?

 

[Parrotperson]

Logged out of Disney earlier and now I've logged back in on a new device I've lost all the Olympic coverage. Any ideas on how to get it back?

Discovery +??? Not Disney as far as I know.

Because he didn’t do the dressage. He’s the substitute

 

[j1ffy]

Thinks it’s actually 8 but still good

Unless the current Japanese rider is clear, in which case 7?

Something has happened on the scoreboard - we’ve gone from 67 to 82 penalties?!

Because they were substituted in so don't have a full individual completion

I know and he was sooo excited about going to Versailles, it’s his birth right ya know!

Well obvs.

 

[j1ffy]

Ros has been given 15 penalties…

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Where? Just noticed the team are on 82

Disney plus? Have I just logged into the wrong thing?

 

[Parrotperson]

Ros has been given 15 penalties…

Eh?! In the wood she took the flag but I guess that’ll be taken away.

 

[PolarSkye]

Ros has been given 15 penalties…

For?

 

[Kat]

Ros has been given 15 penalties…

A flag?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

What? Do we know what for?

 

[lannerch]

Ros is showing 15 penalties on results I’ve just seen !

 

[Parrotperson]

Disney plus? Have I just logged into the wrong thing?

Yep!! Try discovery+

 

[IrishMilo]

Gio is a lovely rider.

 

[Equi]

Still out in front though

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Ros has been given 15 penalties…

we need a Townend-esque effort to argue away the penalties...

It didn’t look like a missed flag to me - hopefully there’s a head on camera where the GJ can review more clearly.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Swirly Temptress is a lovely looking mare

 

[Equi]

French rider will be tense, just a little red flag down is ok

No don’t think it was. She knocked it is all. I think they are automatically putting in 15 every time they see a flag fall.

 

[teapot]

Ros is showing 15 pens

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh FGS, quit the drama we know (commentator)

 

[scats]

Which flag?? I thought she was well within, even the one I saw she knocked.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Italian rider has just kindly demonstrated for us what it looks like to actually take out a flag.

 

[Honey08]

Surely not. She looked really accurate through there, despite the flag going.

 

[BBP]

Easier to add the flag now if FJ has queried and remove it later once footage is reviewed than show her as clear and potentially have to add it on review later.

 

[ihatework]

Bugger for Ros. Hopefully there will be a flag review later, Alex and Sofia also have one. I didn’t see anything especially dodgy for any of them although appreciate we don’t get everything covered

 

[teapot]

Dickie and Chris will be sorting it!
