The thread of all Olympic Threads

It’s very peaceful supporting a country that’s guaranteed to be nowhere near the podium.

 

[Equi]

With Laura going last it’s going to be dizzying lol

 

[Snow Falcon]

Hope he has a good round after what he's been through

 

[sarah.oxford]

Am I right in thinking our other two are usually good in the show jumping?
I'm feeling confident

 

[Equi]

Stretch break everyone go and meditate

 

[Snow Falcon]

Wee break and watch Tom and Noah get their medals

 

[Tiddlypom]

There’s definitely a time delay on the Discovery + coverage. The jumping faults and time are being posted up well ahead of us seeing the poles fall/round completed.

ETA aprox a 12 seconds delay

Agreed!

 

[Spot the Merry Risk]

Gosh he is a lovely horse isn't he. Back to work now til the crunch points!

I’m working 7-10 and 12-2, and maybe this evening depending on what else is on!

 

[Equi]

I hope Japan do get a medal. Closely followed by the Swiss.

I don’t look at the results until I’ve watched a round so I don’t get spoilers lol

Am I right in thinking both Tom and Laura can have a fence down and we still win team gold

 

[conniegirl]

I'm at work. I have the video coverage on my phone, the scores on one screen, this forum on another and my work on the 3rd screen.
Not much work is being done

Anyone know what time it restarts? I can't find it on the website, just the running order

Yes but they can’t afford any time penalties.

It’s just a 10min break

When it starts again I'm going to check if there's any difference in delay between BBC and Eurosport.

Aw they got silver! I was watching earlier.

What is the block of wood they receive?

 

[PolarSkye]

It's a map of Paris - edged in whatever metal medal you won.

For collectively bashing the cross country fence judges with!

Joking joking before anyone starts

Oh that’s different from the usual bouquets. I thought it might be a box of cognac.

Much better. I’d rather have something to keep for life than a bunch of flowers lol

 

[conniegirl]

restarted

 

[Equi]

Another beautiful round for Germany. They should have been our real competitors as normal but I’m glad they’re not

 

[Snow Falcon]

Beautiful round

Thanks I haven't got sound on as sneaky peaking at work

 

[ihatework]

You have to feel for the Germans, such a classy eventing nation with pants luck yesterday

It’s nice being able to appreciate how well they ride and cheer them on without wishing some poles down for them.

The BBC and Eurosport are absolutely in sync so any delay is before it gets to them.

They are taking the same pictures from OBS and transmitting as they get them

No applause after the triple?
