Tokyo Eventing Cross Country

[Jeni the dragon]

Another who is reminiscing on London! Slightly easier to see the fences though!
Great round from Oli! That will fill them with confidence!

 

[Bellaboo18]

Oh I've been chatting away on the other thread ? Brilliant ride from Oliver!

 

[Nicnac]

Oh my goodness. What an incredible round Oli. Absolute masterclass. So so pleased for him and the team.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Dougs horse sounds tired

 

[Wishfilly]

Doug did well but I think that shows how quick Oli was!

 

[SOS]

Very tired pony there, unfortunately not a competition where it’s easy to pull up and I think he did well to nurse him over the last few, keeping momentum whilst not hassling

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

This may sound a bit odd but the Japanese horses back legs are a long way from each other when he’s galloping!

 

[Nicnac]

Doug's horse is 17. Big ask with the travel and conditions imo. Doug nursed him so well. Hope he recovers well for the SJ

 

[Nicnac]

Great round from Felix Vogg too.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oooh, hairy mo

 

[Wishfilly]

Felix nearly made the time which surprised me as I'm sure they said he took a few longer routes?

 

[Honey08]

Swiss rider almost made the time.

 

[fetlock]

Was that Lucinda just saying "ooh sh!t"?

 

[milliepops]

wow honest horse there!

 

[Wishfilly]

Alex on course now!

 

[Lexi_]

Shane Rose was lucky there!

Did I hear on the commentary that Felix Vogg took a long route at some point?

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Was that shoot or sh*t there from lucinda?

 

[Honey08]

It was a smaller gallopy horse.

is it me or does the water look deep?

 

[milliepops]

Was that Lucinda just saying "ooh sh!t"?

well past the watershed, haha

 

[Denbob]

I thought Felix's horse looked very quick across the ground so I'm not overly surprised. Think he'd have rivalled Oli timewise if he'd gone short

 

[TPO]

Anyone else got that annoying buzzing on D+?

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I think Oli's horse has a huge stride! Never looks like he's going that fast but covers the ground very quickly!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Anyone else got that annoying buzzing on D+?

Not currently!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

They're not having too many tp's at present

 

[Lexi_]

Anyone else got that annoying buzzing on D+?

Yup! I think it’s crickets?

 

[Wishfilly]

Good first round for the Japanese there!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Anyone else got that annoying buzzing on D+?

Yes I thought crickets?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I have buzzing. Grasshoppers/crickets?

 

[Wishfilly]

Time definitely looks doable for more riders.

 

[TPO]

Yup! I think it’s crickets?

Oh now you've said that its reminded me, is it not cicadas that are really bad there?
