Clear with a couple of time faults according to the score sheet - phew!!!

 

[Michen]

Are we watching with a lag then?

 

[fidleyspromise]

Laura home

 

[Snow Falcon]

Phew, what a relief

 

[jenbleep]

0.8 time for Laura but home!!!

 

[teapot]

Thank the lord for that, she rode a blinder, but he still looks tired...

I just misread LC 8 time penalties as 80

 

[KEK]

Wow Laura well done!

 

[Haphazardhacker]

phew, can now go for my wee

 

[Michen]

Well done London and Laura!!!!!!!. He definitely lacks the stamina of some of the others doesn’t he. Looked hard work for him towards the end.

 

[Equi]

I don’t look at the score sheet.

Bloody well done Laura and London!!!!

Michael’s run will be tense lol

What time is Ros?

She’s at 1.14

 

[IrishMilo]

What’s going on with Clarke? They keep alluding to his worst ever news but not saying what it is.

 

[Ossy2]

I know there’s still the show jumping to go, but I hope those questioning Laura’s selection on the team are eating some hats right now

 

[Honey08]

Brilliant. That really was a lovely round!

Right I’m off to work. Hope it’s quiet and I can watch!

I think it’s how the producers are editing to make sure we see each starter and finisher. The scoresheet was mostly in line with what we saw, but the last 3 fences updated before we saw the footage of them

Wrong quote went in, was responding to time lag question. I don't know about the Olympics but for a while Badminton has transmitted with a time delay so they don't show horrific accidents.

 

[Parrotperson]

She’s at 1.14

I’ve got time for a wee then

 

[MuddyMonster]

Yessssss, Laura.

I was wondering that to re: Clarke Johnstone IrishMilo.

 

[ihatework]

I hope they aren’t being blithering idiots and mixing him up with Jessie

 

[Muddy unicorn]

I wish someone would have a quiet word with the commentator to let him know that Clarke Johnstone isn’t Jesse Campbell..

 

[Tiddlypom]

I know there’s still the show jumping to go, but I hope those questioning Laura’s selection on the team are eating some hats right now

Yes and no.

Just as well the finish came when it did. He was flying, then he wasn’t.

 

[fidleyspromise]

What time is Ros?

 

[Parrotperson]

What’s happened to Clarke Johnston? Commentators going on about how his life etc etc……?

 

[teapot]

I hope they aren’t being blithering idiots and mixing him up with Jessie

I thought that yesterday, but maybe it's this? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/ol...ners-sudden-death/YYSQU4JJ5NEMDOXZTVUOM4RISQ/

There does seem to be a slight lag

 

[airliner]

Well done London and Laura!!!!!!!. He definitely lacks the stamina of some of the others doesn’t he. Looked hard work for him towards the end.

I feel like he’s such a big galloping horse so he gets more tired from these tight twisting courses. I feel that way about a lot of the 5* horses going around the 4* championship courses these days though…

 

[poacher82]

I hope they aren’t being blithering idiots and mixing him up with Jessie

I think they are. Appalling if so.

 

[Rowreach]

I’m taking a break to recharge before Ros

Sarah’s Facebook post doesn’t say anything about Lottie finishing lame
