Would anyone be able to fill me in on what has happened since 7pm this evening??? I had to go out and missed Mary King and everthing that happend after that. Last I knew WFP 1; PF 2; ... what has happened since then??? xx

Last German rider went clear inside the time and is no lying first with 9 pens between him and WFP.

Next 15 riders have 2 show jumps between them

Mary clear inside time on a fab round as you would expect from such a

super star.

GB team gold position
USA team silver
CANADA team Bronze

There is one showjump between USA and GB team wise

NZL are in 4th and Germany in 5th but racked up some serious penalities yest on the XC with falls creating 2 eliminations one from team one idivid and then the three riders that counted only one went clear.

Do you need more

Oh wait, Oz are out with a withdrawl and a fall and so are ITA team wise.

Is there anywhere on the internet I can watch the xc today? I missed it yesterday!

 

[Hels_Bells]

Marvellous - thanks Bay Beastie!!!

Hattie, I don't know anywhere, but I am as keen to know as you so that I can watch the bits I missed!!! SJ is on today and Highlights on Monday on BBC2 red button.

Where have you been for the last two olympics

He has very much redeemed himself in my opinion lately though, he rode wonderfully at Burghley and again today

He didn't fall off in Hong Kong, the horse fell which is completely different. If he had stayed on he would have been squashed! He is the only one that tried for the time and it very nearly worked. In a situation where only winning counts you have to take risks and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Morning, does anyone know the order for the showjumping. Are they going in the same order as yesterday or in reverse order for individual standings???

 

[georgiegirl]

[brushingboots]

swanny - showjumping is in reverse order

Thanks brushing boots, so if OH really whines I know I only really NEED to watch the last hour or so!!! Hopefully he will be nice and let me watch it from 6, or at least from 7.30 when the kids go to bed and I can really concentrate!

Another note - Team GB appealed against Tina's 20 penalties, interesting...

I read that she didnt think it was worth it as after reviewing the footage herself she agreed she had crossed tracks? Oh well never mind.

I am going to miss the SJ tonight, as I have to work until 6 - 11, so will be greatful for my FEI subscription can watch it when I get home. but will already know the results how will I not hear.

 

[teapot]

Yeah, they've updated the press release since last night.

Sorry, this thread is mega long so can't be bovved sifting through all of it, what happened to Tina Cook?

And, just as an aside, big congrats to Belgium's own Karin Donckers who is up there and apparently has broken her arm in two places but still got on with it - good girl!
