For anyone with their Discovery sub already, there are quite few documentaries on there if you need to get into the spirt

Leaving the whys aside, I’m pleased to see Becky in. I went to not-Olympia in December and her test was my favourite of the evening.
I don’t know how these things work, especially at such short notice. Does another get called into Becky’s reserve place or?

Irrespective of the difficult circumstances, I am so delighted for Becky Moody, to ride at the Olympics on a horse that you have not only trained yourself, but also bred yourself, is a tremendous achievement, and must feel incredible, I wish her and Team GB all the very best.

I think it’s too late to have another reserve so we just have 3 in the team, let’s just hope they all stay well so we can compete

That's a real shame if it is too late to have another reserve.

I have read that they are asking to make a late reserve placement - I think its Andrew Gould

Cross county course fences are here. Think this could be interesting as you can’t actually see how twisty it is.

There’s nothing quite like designing an Olympic cross-country course. Firstly, it has to slot into a tract of land that’s rarely or never hosted the sport before; secondly, it has to be friendly enough to

Actually far less twisty than I was expecting, but still potentially clever

Looking at the map on here the course doesn't look too twisty.

Too little time, too much to read.
And now the train system has been vandalised. That is going to be chaos.
