Today's dressage

[Kiristamm]

I have had to turn down my volume due to my teeth being set on edge by Parzival's teeth grinding....

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

grrr she doesnt deserve to even be at the olympics let alone given 81.984

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Absolutely ridiculous score!!!

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

just seen alf so assume they are taking the horses in for the medals? Hope none of them are too scared.

 

[SaffronWelshDragon]

How is it that we all know about this rollkur usage yet its completely ignored by the judges. Disgusting!

 

[HashRouge]

That last test wasn't my cup of tea at all...I feel like I was watching a completely different horse to the judges/ commentators
How that deserved to score higher than the wonderful Fuego and Rubi, I have no idea!

 

[Daffodil]

That's when all the checking of bits and spurs has it's uses. Did Parzival whack one of the team across the face!

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

Sadly I hoped some of the ones who did have their chins on their chest were found to have been bleeding, not because I would ever want a horse to be hurt but it would get their scum bag riders eliminated.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

So Team GB Show Jumpers win Gold with their manes on the wrong side, Team GB Dressagers win Gold wearing plastic coverered hard hats - Both look daft but clearly produced the right results!

 

[4x4]

What no medal ceremony?

 

[Daffodil]

Is the medal ceremony on Thursday?

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

What no medal ceremony?

medal ceremony will be shortly I think, they need to clear the arena of boards/ flowepots/ judges huts etc first

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

What no medal ceremony?

Yes, they are just preparing the arena, it will be on shortly.

Anyone watching the tv now, what is that big building/palace type place by the river they just showed?

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

This is the first tim eIve seen much of the setting for the arena, what a beautiful place for it

 

[4x4]

Greenwich palace? What side is the ceremony?

 

[Katikins]

Much as Mike Tucker is rather irritating I couldn't help cheering at the screen when he made that dig about how naturally the Brits ride dressage compared to the 'forced' way of the Dutch and Germans

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

454

 

[4x4]

[Trolley Hunter Type]

[Trolley Hunter Type]

For a minute I thought Laura was riding a bay

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

[pootleperkin]

They are showing the ping pong (with no Brits) rather than show the prize giving for the dressage on the red button - come on!!

 

[SaffronWelshDragon]

Not an emotional person, but in tears here!

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

Sad to think that Valegro and Uthopia are now for sale/sold.

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

Not an emotional person, but in tears here!

same here, and so touching when charlottle went and gave carl a hug on the podium too as theyre clearly all welling up

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

This looks like a slightly bracing lap of honour for some of the riders!

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

Anky not doing the lap of honour, clearly worried salinero will p*ss off in rolkur with her

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

Where is the medal ceremony on tv ..anyone?

This looks like a slightly bracing lap of honour for some of the riders!

They all look likethey were clinging on for dear life and grinning through gritted teeth

 

[Toast]

Hahaha that lap of honor looked like fun!!
