The thread of all Olympic Threads

[splashgirl45]

We seem to be watching diving. Our Discovery Sky package only seems to offer one option.

Mine changed to the diving and I had to exit and go back into discovery and the dressage

 

[Rowreach]

I am watching dressage on laptop, diving is on the TV.

I’m doing something similar

 

[ihatework]

Oh dear - I know not all eventers are dressage fans, but this takes it to a new level

 

[clinkerbuilt]

The Hungarian?

[Equi]

I think it’s just a “let’s just get through this” day for them

Are you using the Discovery+ app.
You should be able to select to watch the dressage

Agree - let's hope they have a good run xc!

 

[ihatework]

The Hungarian?

Yes.
He seems to have just squeaked qualification. I hope he stays safe tomorrow.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Ooohh

 

[humblepie]

Thanks all re the diving/dressage. Am going out but will give it another try. We are on a sky internet package on tv ap

 

[clinkerbuilt]

yikes

 

[Equi]

Oh dear.

Extended canter looking more like a racehorse out the gates

 

[ihatework]

EEK for the Czech!

 

[Snow Falcon]

She needs to go and have a gallop now

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Wow, well ridden from the Czech rider. He handled that bravely.

 

[NinjaPony]

I always feel so bad for the rider when the horse throws the towel in like that, we’ve all been there and fair play to those who keep their cool, the weather looks awful too so o expect we’ll see more difficult tests. Horse looks much happier walking off.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

poor mare "I'm out"

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

The Italian horse isn't showing as Eliminated yet on the scores. Doesn't it usually come through very soon?

There will be a lot of official conversations going on I expect!

 

[Equi]

 

[Snow Falcon]

I'm sure someone will have reported it

 

[Equi]

Sunshine for the rest of the week, wonder what this has done for the ground?

 

[Honey08]

Looks like BBC aren’t showing any of the dressage today

I think its disappointing when we are reigning gold medalists in this sport and likely to win another medal this time, all being well.

I think you had to subscribe to the middle option on discovery to get all Olympics.

I am working today.it’s just typical that after all these months of rainy weekends (my cafe is outdoor) it’s going to be glorious,and likely busy, when I want to watch the Eventing! Do you think it’s reasonable that I have “dressage judge pauses” a few times for the GB rounds?

 

[NinjaPony]

It’s funny but given what’s been going on in pure dressage, it’s really refreshing to see the less ‘perfect’ eventing dressage with better relaxation and harmony and much less tension (mostly!!)

 

[Equi]

This is a lovely mare. You can tell she’s trying her heart out for him.

Off for a warm fluffy towel and a bit of mash methinks.

 

[ihatework]

That Chinese mare is super.
Would like to see Ros on her!!

 

[teapot]

Loved that mare!

 

[Equi]

and such a cute name too, lady chin.

And the extended movements are real extension, not just front legs getting thrown around.
