Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

[Peregrine Falcon]

I think I would prefer silence tbh

 

[Wishfilly]

I have muted D+ now!

 

[rosiesowner]

Hi everyone! Just tuned in on d+. Agree this commentator is a bit much at times.

 

[DabDab]

That was a fab round to watch from Austin

 

[RachelFerd]

Colorado Blue looks like an absolute cracker... unlucky for 4 faults. Best of the Irish despite being drafted in at the last moment from the reserve position!

 

[criso]

I'm checking the bbc between rounds

 

[Rowreach]

Austin showing a bit of pace (shame about the pole).

??????

 

[HashRouge]

I swear as soon as the female commentator on Discovery+ starts talking, the jumps start falling!

 

[PoppyAnderson]

This is an absolutely terrible way of running this event. I can't imagine cooking up a worse way. They get no time to celebrate and absorb their team result and then it's straight into individual rounds, which can totally overshadow the team result. To say nothing of the horses having to come back out and do it all again.

I liked him a lot, no spurs, no whip, no martingale and just a snaffle. Must be super honest.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

if BBC show that hurdle race again, I'm going to loose my rag

 

[Kat]

When I cancel my D+ I will tell them that their commentary team were dreadful (apart from John Kyle)

 

[Wishfilly]

Lea inside the time but 8 faults.

 

[DabDab]

Eeek, should have pushed for the long

 

[teapot]

Only the Brits could have branded team umbrellas (have athletics on in background in case it swaps - hockey on red button)

 

[Lexi_]

This Austrian pair have been really nice to watch, last fence aside!

 

[Kat]

Vitali really isn't feeling the show jumping today is he :-(

 

[WelshHoarder]

Here we go again - not sure I’ll be able to cope watching the top 10

 

[Honey08]

I love Colerado Blue.

I think the athletes is delayed so the bbc will stick with it - knowing the Brits are all jumping towards the end anyway.

 

[RachelFerd]

Oh, and another who is by Jaguar Mail (SF) albeit British breeding on the dam's side. These SF horses just seem to suit this format and can clearly cope with the heat and intensity too.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

The male commentator is so rude

 

[Wishfilly]

Sadly not Tim's day, is it?

 

[Lexi_]

Oh poor Tim. He’s had no luck today.

 

[Kat]

Bloody commentator just said that Tim Price should retire as his horse doesn't want to do it - so negative.

It's been like this for a while though. I remember a French rider who had a commanding lead in the individual round and then slipping right out of the medals. That might have been 2004?

 

[TPO]

Tim having a nightmare

Ugg I take back all my whe rolling about Lucinda, please bring her back immediately

This man is just awful and pretty nasty

 

[cold_feet]

Can’t see the live scores - is it just me?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

SHUT UP! Muting you now

 

[Rowreach]

They’re all (horses and riders) looking absolutely knackered.

 

[DabDab]

Wish he would retire from commentating
