Missed flag is apparently fence 21D. What was that photo of does anyone know?

 

[Supertrooper]

Now reported via BE that penalties stand

Absolute joke!!!

Well they’re the experts and must have access to angles/pictures we haven’t seen.

But from the front on photo posted earlier in this thread, I think that’s an unlucky call

 

[lannerch]

Makes mockery of the compitition what video are they watching

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Which one was that?

 

[teapot]

Confirmed as the 15 pens staying. Which is utterly ridiculous.

Someone has posted it in video format on the BE fb page who was there on the ground and it definitely looks inside the flag

Is 21D the pic that was shown?

Duplicate post!

But if you stop the vid before the flag starts to move it's quite different and this isn't head on

 

[Equi]

That is ridiculous. Sabotage!

Question is whether that flag is in the right place in the first place

I think I read that photo is the wrong fence

That would also make a big difference - 21 a/b and 21D

 

[Equi]

It looks like he hits it with his leg

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

If that is the correct fence fence then I really can't see how they have awarded 15 pens.

This is complete and utter bollocks and I’m furious with the incompetence of the ground jury on this

There's pictures of all the fences here with numbers

What a joke that Ros had a flag penalty. Honestly I’m usually with the GJ but this is literally because France are in a close second…

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Who are the ground jury? French officials?

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Well, France can have 4 down in tomorrow's SJ and the GJ can forever feel foolish.

[Peregrine Falcon]

It would make sense for the hosts to be in contention for a medal wouldn't it? I don't think the Olympic values have been upheld here at all.

 

[Michen]

I hope we can win despite the clear sabotage. The French grey looked so tired I can’t believe it’ll show jump well.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I feel.for Ros and the whole team. They gave their all on the course today and this is a sad reflection on their efforts.
