Tokyo Eventing Cross Country

[Denbob]

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

Oh no! That's a real shame

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!

yeah, evidently Disco have shipped Lucinda out there as she had a different view to the cameras in the dressage. i do think eyes on the ground is useful for arena based stuff where the camera angle can be deceiving.

 

[Wishfilly]

Seems like the second Japanese rider had a refusal, which is a real shame as what we saw looked good.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Expensive round for the Japanese team!

More cost effective if she and John are doing all the equestrian coverage I expect! All the others can WFH ?

Polish horse bit sticky

The Australians must be working their way up the leaderboard now, after all that doom and gloom about their dressage scores.

 

[milliepops]

Expensive round for the Japanese team!

yeah shame after their strong start.

 

[Wishfilly]

Kevin McNab just outside the time.

Yes I think it finishes about 3am. I’m lucky that I’ve not ended up working this week.

I don’t think we’ve seen many of the problems that there have been on this course.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

That surcingale is irritating!

 

[SOS]

Beautiful black horse on the Swedish team. As they were just explaining a tricky situation for the riders with the team changes and results today

 

[Denbob]

That surcingale is irritating!

fingers crossed it doesn't catch on anything...

 

[Wishfilly]

Ugh not liking this horse being allowed to run with that strap hanging down.

 

[TPO]

That surcingale is irritating!

Its giving me the fear!

 

[milliepops]

remember when they used to wear bandages xc....

 

[Wishfilly]

Its giving me the fear!

Same!

 

[RachelFerd]

I really like this Polish chestnut

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Thank god it finished safely

 

[Wishfilly]

Polish horse looking stronger now.

 

[Wishfilly]

Thank god, the Chinese horse with the dangling tack is home safe!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Polish horse looking stronger now.

Took a while to settle jumping

 

[milliepops]

40 odd time pens is expensive but it's better than not getting home is it the first chinese eventing team?

 

[Lexi_]

Where’s the rider with one stirrup gone?

 

[Denbob]

40 odd time pens is expensive but it's better than not getting home is it the first chinese eventing team?

I think so yeah

 

[Lexi_]

40 odd time pens is expensive but it's better than not getting home is it the first chinese eventing team?

I think so! It was just Alex as an individual for ages.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Glad it wasn't just me feeling the fear about the flapping bit!

 

[Wishfilly]

40 odd time pens is expensive but it's better than not getting home is it the first chinese eventing team?

Yes, I think they mentioned that a few times.

 

[milliepops]

I think so! It was just Alex as an individual for ages.

yeah that's what i thought. hope they get the third rider home safe too

 

[Honey08]

She’s just home with one stirrup.?
