Tokyo Eventing Cross Country

[Peregrine Falcon]

Go Oli, show them how to do it

 

[teapot]

Yay, it's got fence scores https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/equestrian/results-eventing-xc-000100-.htm

 

[Nicnac]

Ground sounds quite firm

 

[Wishfilly]

I dont think that fall would fluster Oli

Not Oli but some of the other less experienced combinations may now feel nervous.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

On the couch with D+ on and the telly on in case the beeb decide to show it! I've had an hour nap but not sure I'll last the night!
Come on Oli!

 

[SOS]

He’s used to path finding normally having numerous horses at high level events.

Xc is reminiscent of London with the city poking into the backdrop

 

[Wishfilly]

That second water looks more tricky than the photos made it look.

 

[TPO]

It's a lot hillier than I pictured. I imagined more undulating rather than those slopes

 

[Michen]

He’s an undeniably beautiful rider

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Did someone say shit then?

Xc is reminiscent of London with the city poking into the backdrop

I was just thinking this!

 

[teapot]

For an entirely man made setting it's gorgeous

 

[SOS]

They’re still figuring out the camera angles I think ?

 

[milliepops]

I was just thinking this!

With the hilly terrain too. I went to London on xc day, I feel all nostalgic ?

 

[TPO]

For an entirely man made setting it's gorgeous

Have you seen the photos of them spray painting the grass greener so it looks better? That made me chuckle

 

[Wishfilly]

They’re still figuring out the camera angles I think ?

Yes, bit behind on the American rider!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Ooo it's twisty

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well done Oli, great start

 

[TPO]

Wow, well done Oli! 5 secs inside

Almost made it look easy!!

 

[Lexi_]

With the hilly terrain too. I went to London on xc day, I feel all nostalgic ?

Me too! A slightly surreal experience but an amazing one.

 

[Double_choc_lab]

Wow what a round from Oli

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Yeeeeeeees

 

[fetlock]

Go Oli!
Fantastic round.

 

[Wishfilly]

Clear inside the time. Well done Oli, and hopefully very helpful to all the riders!

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

what a fantastic round, shame we didn't see much of it

 

[Lexi_]

Oh that’s a brilliant round. I am made up for him.

Now we can breathe for a bit and see how realistic the time is for others!

 

[TPO]

Dont shoot me for being a bunny hugger but it was nice seeing him make an effort to reach back over and pat his horse as they both got taken away for a cool down

 

[Wishfilly]

Also Lucinda saying the American horse was wearing the union jack!

 

[Honey08]

Brilliant Oliver! ???
Now let’s see a few time faults for the others please!
