The thread of all Olympic Threads

[PolarSkye]

I have just watched the replay on BBC1 and it's the fence out of the woodland . . . impossible to see from the camera angle whether Lordships Graffalo's head and neck were on the right side of that flag .

I’ve watched and rewatched (they’ve just showed it on aunty beeb and I could rewind Willy nilly)

I think Walter’s hoof took the flag. That said I think his shoulders would’ve been on the correct side of the flag.

I think.

You will need to be a member of twitter eventing on FB to see this, but if you scroll down through the comments on this post, someone has posted a head on video which seems to show his head and shoulders went through the flags correctly - I am no eventing expert though!

The video in TE is pretty clear they jumped that fence good and proper

 

[equinerebel]

From what I’ve seen, they were defo inside the flag.

Is this the fence in question? Pretty clear inside there!

That's pretty conclusive - if it's the fence in question. Still crossing everything.

Looks pretty hopeful

No eventing expert but that looks ok to me?!

 

[Parrotperson]

The think it’s taking so long to revoke cos they’re checking every downed flag. And there were a lot!!!!

 

[lannerch]

looks like 21c so

I watched 2 hours behind so stayed off phone to avoid spoilers. Really enjoyed it, an interesting course in a stunning setting.

I can’t see how they can even remotely say she’s not inside the flag from that photo. To be honest I couldn’t imagine Ros not knowing anyway. She’s so accurate.

Hoping London52 is sound after that fabulous round without a show. And for a bit of glue on the showjumping cups tomorrow!

It’s a shame it can’t be a permanent event. It’s been lovely so far.

I have just started watching it’s a beautiful location for the equine comps
I could not watch earlier .

Seems the coach of the Samoan boxing team has had a heart attack and died in the Olympic village.

Poor chap.

[teapot]

Interesting. Hope this means what we think it means!

 

[splashgirl45]

I really hope so because then we would have , I think, 4 fences in hand

Got ya, I was being thick!

Bronze in the kayaking

Looks like the flag is in the wrong place and just stuck in the ground compared to the red one

They would absolutely do the same in our shoes. Why would we give 15 penalty points and a four fence lead away?!

Maybe someone could point out that Nicolas should be carded for the state of his horse at the end of the course ...

 

[teapot]

I was just going to say the French need to get through the trot up tomorrow... anyone one remember Touzaint's sj round in Athens (I think it was)
