Nice pdf on the course if we don't want to watch here: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/oly...U_C03B_EQUOEVENINDV----------JMPF000100--.pdf


Have to say the Tokyo website has been brilliant for info!

it's been brilliant hasn't it, the reports etc have come up really quickly and it's all been easy to locate. I've been really impressed by the FEI live page too since they solved the probs on day 1 of the dressage. nice to be able to link to the bios etc .

BBC were just showing someone under an umbrella on the athletics track when I checked. I'm on Discovery+.

Commentator having a go at Alex HT again

This time he's scraped into the individual having crashed into a fence and not being expected to get through. Is he going to crash again?

Shut up!!!

 

[Wishfilly]

Do we have a running order yet? I’m in work so relying on here to keep me updated but would love to try and find a few minutes to watch the gb rounds if I can

I think it's pure reverse order?

 

[Snow Falcon]

I do keep checking too

 

[piebaldproblems]

Not Alex HT’s day it seems.

 

[Michen]

Not showing on bbc at all is it? It seems to have suddenly swapped from sj to something else

Shut up!!!

Yes, quite scathing!

 

[j1ffy]

Is Richard Vaughn the D+ commentator?

 

[milliepops]

Bloody work really have shocking timing, off into another hour of teams calls. This is why i booked the dressage days off

 

[DabDab]

Yes, quite scathing!

Dicky seems to have a real bee in his bonnet about Alex for some reason, he's being a right little bitch

 

[teapot]

I think Beeb maybe at 1pm but given some of the athletics is delayed...

The D+ comms is appalling.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Apparently so, dreadful!

 

[Honey08]

I’ll feel sorry for Oli if he drops down any more. It just tars what was a super finish, if it were a normal event. Anyway let’s stay positive. Oli’s horse jumped very well and precisely, it wasn’t a bad pole really…

 

[Wishfilly]

Real spread of fences where poles going down too.

They had beach volleyball on the red button a moment ago

It is pouring with rain at the running track but looks dry at the show jumping

 

[Kat]

The live results have disappeared for me, anyone else having the same problem?

 

[Snow Falcon]

WTF, who cares about Brady!?

 

[Honey08]

It’s hissing down for the athletics. A bit of Yorkshire pennine rain for Oli!

 

[Lexi_]

Have we had anyone inside the time yet?

 

[j1ffy]

Same for me ?

 

[teapot]

Wonder if the British horses fitness will come into this too?

 

[RachelFerd]

Well, this is causing carnage so far.... fingers tightly crossed for our riders shortly!

 

[piebaldproblems]

Female commentator seems to have forgotten she’s supposed to be commentating, male commentator talking absolute nonsense to fill what would otherwise be a very awkward silence?

Just saw one of the hurdlers fall and then aquaplane across the track ?

 

[Wishfilly]

Have we had anyone inside the time yet?

I don't think so?

 

[j1ffy]

Same for me ?
