The thread of all Olympic Threads

[St Nicnaclaus]

Keely amazing and loved the Pole Vaulting as well. Now on USA/Brazil Wallyball (Mr NicNac used to play for his country). Hope the 2028 sailing is done in Maui then I may go and watch!

I have a feeling the sailing will be off the coast of Long Beach

Pole vaulting was fab, new world record 6.25m!

The Guardian had an interview with Laura C today:

Laura Collett: ‘I felt like an outsider but I was determined to win gold’

The eventing gold medallist opens up to Alexandra Topping on her near-fatal accident in 2013, Tokyo pain and sympathy for Dujardin

Pole vault was brilliant must have been an amazing feeling for him knowing you've won the gold medal and the whole stadium has stayed behind to watch you try for the world record

Harry Charles has withdrawn. Romeo had a small overreach and they don’t want to risk anything

 

[Snow Falcon]

Oh no, what a shame.

 

[Supertrooper]

Ultimate respect though that he is putting his horse first

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Oh no! That’s so sad for Harry. But very lovely that he’s so conscious of the horse.

Does anyone know how Ben’s horse is feeling this morning? She looked a bit sore yesterday. (To my eye, anyway).

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Does anyone have the start times?

I’m in meetings all morning so will try to sneak a break for Ben and Scott but will be largely reliant on everyone’s commentary.

 

[humblepie]

What a shame for Harry and Romeo but what a fab olympics they’ve had.

I dont think there is start times but ben is near the beginning i think, 3rd to go ?

Oh no

 

[Equi]

Shame for Harry but well done for not pushing it.

 

[Burnerbee]

Holey moley (which is a weird saying, isn’t it?? ) that’s a big course. Which isn’t so surprising I guess

 

[Clodagh]

Any Brits been yet? Shame about Harry.

 

[Spot the Merry Risk]

Ben Maher just going in now.

 

[Burnerbee]

Ben in now

 

[Equi]

Tough corse

Come on Ben. No wall today.

 

[Clodagh]

Anyone clear yet?

 

[PolarSkye]

Boogers!

 

[PolarSkye]

One fence and inside the time for Ben. Reckon he's out of the medals now . Such a shame.

 

[Equi]

what a shame

 

[Spot the Merry Risk]

A beautiful round except the one down, what a shame.

 

[Snow Falcon]

That's it for Ben then

 

[Burnerbee]

No clears. Laura Kraut in now…

 

[Equi]

oooh that was so close!!

 

[Burnerbee]

…who was clear until they demolished the last

 

[PolarSkye]

Epic round from Laura Kraut - such a shame about the last fence . It's a really tough course!
