Tokyo Eventing Cross Country

[OldNag]

Yay Laura - lovely round
Off to bed. Will be supporting in my dreams

 

[Denbob]

Nailbiter over that Philip crikey

 

[RachelFerd]

Terrifying moment for Philip Dutton there

 

[DabDab]

Interesting corner technique there!

I'm guessing that the 3 british riders full rounds will be on bbc highlights later today?

Probably only what we’ve seen on the live running - I think the Olympic broadcaster produce the footage. The BBC coverage started with Oli’s round but it was the same fences as we saw live on the Discovery footage.

 

[Wishfilly]

This last water is causing a few eeek moments, I guess horses a bit tired by then too.

I like Rishi as an interviewer. He’s asking the right sort of questions to bring the sport to life to general viewers.

 

[Wishfilly]

The Swiss are going for it aren't they?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Aw bless her. Lovely interview.

 

[ecb89]

Horses will spook at paper ? love it

 

[Denbob]

Nice through that water for the Indian rider

I mean he’s not wrong!

 

[Honey08]

Aww Laura!

They’ve learned their lessons- put footage in the background while Rishi talks.

Looked like a lovely round! He wasn’t far over the time.

 

[pistolpete]

Laura is brilliant. Ollie too! What time is Toms round? I’m wide awake now!

 

[Wishfilly]

Nice through that water for the Indian rider

From what we saw he did very well!

 

[milliepops]

Nice through that water for the Indian rider

yeah what we saw looked a very classy round

 

[DabDab]

Yay, clear with just a handful of time faults, that's brilliant. What a great representative for India he has been in this comp

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Tom 2.06

I wonder where the BBC commentators are working from? Saw Ian at Burgham yesterday but with Nick calling out his red trainers, they're obviously in the same place!

 

[milliepops]

The Swiss are going for it aren't they?

we didn't see much of the grey horse but it looked like they really meant business.

 

[Lexi_]

Swiss are surprisingly strong today!

 

[Honey08]

Laura is brilliant. Ollie too! What time is Toms round? I’m wide awake now!

About 2oclock?
Im wide awake too. I was just thinking that I don’t know how people can go to bed half way. I’m too adrenaline-ised!

think most are in Salford

 

[Denbob]

just 0,4 for the swiss rider, some great encouragement on course as well

I’m not sure whether the Olympic hosting is based in London or Salford ? Tbf, the commentary side of things could probably be done from any place with sound equipment and a live stream!

looks like she had a pin as well, what a shame.

I’ve averaged about 4 hours sleep a night this week and I feel a bit like I’m dying ? Must power on! What time is the last rider due to finish? 3ish?

 

[Denbob]

Oh "just 1 metre 15"

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Thanks guys! I was sure someone would know here! I did wonder if Ian had his feet up on camera somewhere!
