Yes I think you’re right. It’s almost worked out harder as there’s little room to adjust/calm if something doesn’t go right. Blips overflow into the next movement.

Yes, I’ve warmed to it too. It’s very clever.

I've an increasing amount of respect for how well prepared Oli T clearly was for this test... Looking harder and harder to match it...

I seem to have quite a delay on discovery+ ? I can get the score on the fei website half way through a test...

If you close the equestrian window on discovery + and go back into it again it sometimes catches up for me.

Yes, whether or not you like the 3 from 3 format, it does make for compelling viewing

It always struck me a little strange that people have gone home with medals when their score didn’t contribute to the win. So I think the new format, although nerve wracking, is probably a good thing.

Should say that MJ scoring 19 would break the record set by David O’Connor and Custom Made…

Oh, I know it’s unsportsmanlike, but I’d like a bit of a shake up from MJ just cruising through it all for another medal! He’s amazing, I know, but let’s have a change.

Do I dare say that Oli’s Test seemed slightly more relaxed or is that wishful thinking? This will be close!
