The BBC are a disgrace. Short mention of the eventing and a really big slot for the diving which resulted in a silver medal. While in no way deriding the achievement of the divers which is phenomenal. However they seem to forget that the eventing team have had to have 6 people fit to go. 3 horses and 3 riders. The beeb frankly makes me want to spit!!

The event finished too close to the news for a report to have been filed. It was top of the headlines but they clearly hadn't had time to edit footage or write a report for a longer piece. Wait until the 6 o clock before passing judgement.

Gorgeous clear for Ros - basically acting as pathfinder for the other two . . . well done.

Ignore the fact it says rowing

 

[piebaldproblems]

Not to be that person but I'm glad Touzaint's getting all these poles. That's what you get for pushing your horse so hard.

 

[Spotherisk]

French horse is over tired!

 

[Barklands]

First rail! The others seemed to have made light work of it!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

French has had a pole

 

[Apercrumbie]

Can't find the iplayer link to the equestrian now.

It's tagged as rowing for anyone also struggling!

 

[alexomahony]

I spoke too soon - French horse cleared tired!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

And another, poor horse

Such a weird sport. They’re all on different horses, so how do we know who’s the best rider?

Thank you for posting this, they all did lovely rounds

 

[piebaldproblems]

Let's see if Karin can ride a little quieter this time round.

Just been to have a look and only four riders finished the team competition on their dressage score (Tom, Tomoto Kazuma, Janneke Boonzaaijer, and Frida Andersen), goes to show how well these courses have been designed. And nice to see a variety of countries and genders in that 4!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

He's a lovely progressive sort Karin's horse

 

[alexomahony]

Lovely round from Origi and Lara <3

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Fab round

The Belgians sure know how to pick the most handsome and talented chestnuts.
