The thread of all Olympic Threads

Medal ceremony will be after the individual

Who’d have thought poor Germany would be so far down.

 

[muddybay]

Do they have to jump again for individual?

I actually feel most sorry for them. The issue with the ground really cost them.

 

[fidleyspromise]

Do they have to jump again for individual?

Yes it starts at 2pm.

 

[teapot]

You can tell how pissed we are underneath in this interview!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Tom's support shine through about those 15pens

 

[PippiPony]

Blinking Brilliant despite all the set backs. Everything crossed for later on!

Nice balance of pissed but professional

 

[NinjaPony]

This is the best possible response to the fence judging disaster, they got on with the job and the best team still won

 

[Esmae]

Fabulous result! Congratulations Team GB! Now in our house when things come together after unpleasant drama the following gets shouted very loudly "Up yer bum from Wigan!!"

 

[fidleyspromise]

They don't seem to be aware that Ros has qualified for individual jumping

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

"It wasn't a mistake" Tina speaking about those pens

 

[tda]

Brilliant result for the GB team, so pleased

 

[PolarSkye]

Can somebody tell me the points spread for the top 10 going into individual?

 

[teddy_]

Wahoo! Fingers and toes crossed for the individual !

 

[fidleyspromise]

 

[Katieg123]

Can someone also explain to me how it works with the individual jumping? Do they set up a different course and everyone has to jump a second time? Do any poles from the teams round count in the individual?

Wow - not even a fence in it. I think Michi is going to win individual gold - he's too good/too consistent.

 

[Katieg123]

Thank you!

 

[Annagain]

The top 25 jump again. The course is shorter but bigger. Faults are accumulative so it's like a normal show jumping phase. Everything gets added on to the individual's final score from the team element. The top 4 are within a fence, top 8 within 2 fences.

Nice balance of pissed but professional

I didn't catch his name but I even got that from the journalist

 

[Annagain]

Watch them take the 15 off now that it makes no difference .

 

[khalswitz]

I’m watching behind time so dangerous coming on this thread, but did anyone notice the commentator woman repeatedly saying ‘he’s jumped clear’ when they had 8 or even 12 faults? Is it just me getting quite irritated by that?

 

[RachelFerd]

Wow, what an exciting conclusion to the team competition! I am just thrilled for Japan in climbing their way back to the bronze medal with impeccable showjumping performances today - just held their nerve and rode brilliantly.

Of course I'm also happy for the British team and glad that the flag penalties didn't make a difference in the end - because to me, they didn't look like they should have been upheld. But all is well that ends well!

Now, when it comes to the individual... I'm not massively patriotic tbh. I have my fingers crossed for Chris Burton - his riding has been an absolute masterclass this weekend and I've been loving watching Ben Hobday cheering the horse on from home and seeing it achieve the success he's capable of. I'd like to see Tom and Dubs sneak back up potentially too... it's all to play for out there!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

I'd like to see Michi win gold

 

[Slightlyconfused]

So pleased for them...missed the update as horse was colicing all fine for the moment

 

[daffy44]

Been riding this morning, thank you all for the updates, I've been watching this thread on my phone during warmup/cool down walks! I'm really looking forward to watching live for the individual. I'm assuming from the top ten Chris Burton jumped clear with a smidge of time? His riding has been amazing to watch.
