I am not an International event follower (obv. follow Team GB!) but (and this comes from someone who is NOT a Size 8 and has weight issues) but does anyone think Rebecca Holder is *ahem* not exactly athlete physique?
And I do NOT want a "fattist" thread or anything but - professional athlete?!

Ian Stark just commented on how the crowd likes to get behind great greys like "Milton and some others..."
And what did MT say "Desert Orchid!!" Hmmmm I think Ian might have wanted you to mention one or two other flying greys....

I agree - at that level you should be prepared to do anything it takes to be as fit as possible. And she sadly is not. Neither was Buck.

William 1st, Pippa 3rd, Piggy 3rd, Tina unluckily crossed tracks on a crackin' round. Germans, who were leaders overnight done pants generally. Forum members very, ahem, sorry about this... Other strong combinations to come..

Becky Holder doesn't look as comfortable in the saddle as usual 
From some shots she really looks to be leaning to one side

More misery for the Germans, Mr Medicott just had a refusal.
Wonder if one of them broke a (several) mirror?

Love Courageous Comet and Becky Holder - gives the lie to all the nay-sayers who say that larger ladies aren't as effective. Just look at them go!!!

Yes. His commentating is so polite! Even when someone rides awfully he says, could have been better, or something lovely, when I'm swearing at the screen! Really enjoying the online coverage and commentary.
