Not a fence between them I think. The tension watching will be immense

I'm curious, did they poo pick before the synchronized tractoring or do the tractors just get on with it?

Julia, Andrew and Tom all looked immaculate in their first round - so smooth and careful. I’d be really surprised if Julia loses the gold tbh, but am obviously hoping it happens because I’m terribly unsportsmanlike.

Oh no, hang on, I think Julia would need a pole and a time fault to move behind Laura? She’s 4.2 ahead of her at present.

I think Julia would need some time faults as well as a pole to go behind Laura.

It’s very close. Lots can change from here. I’m definitely wishing for Julia and Andrew to have poles down and ours not to!!
I want to see the ceremony, but could do with nipping off and doing some jobs. Does anyone know if/when it will be shown?

The normally poo pick as they go along between rounds a the same time they are resetting any fences.

Judging by what happened with the dressage medals, fairly soon after the event conclusion and Discovery should cover it. Hopefully all the same for the eventing!

I've got D+ still running so will shout if I see medals

It would be much better if they just did the next round straight away and did both prize givings afterwards. Or did a arena eventing for individuals the following day!

I don't think I can wish a pole on Andrew.
I'd love to be wrong but I think Laura is out of the medals now. I hope that Oli and Tom can hold on to their positions though. The whole team have been incredible.
ETA actually I have just looked at the scores again, it is all so close, who knows what will happen. Only a smidge more than a pole between Julia and Laura, but it would take mistakes for two of the top four and they are all looking so good.......

He just breathed on that fence too, I was gutted for Ollie! Laura must be so disappointed too, but what a rider to get that back together again and not have a cricket score!

Id love you to be wrong too. ?

Such an impressive recovery by Laura. You don't want that to happen at any fence, let alone a related distance before a triple.
Does anyone have access to the current individual standings and scores? I wish they would post this kind of thing on the bbc live text - I want to agonise about the various outcomes!

Event horses aren't used to doing two rounds of showjumping so it might not be as clear cut as we think. Although to be fair, none of the top ones looked tired in their rounds

I'd love to see her get a medal but I don't want any of our team to make a mistake or slip below another nation so that means a pole and time penalties or two poles for Julia, plus some penalties for Andrew and they both looked incredibly classy and as though they were finding it easy so it seems unlikely.
Two British individual medals of any colour would be incredible, and all three in the top 5 would be amazing.
Sending all the team clear inside the time vibes.
