Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

[Rowreach]

From a search on here it seems HHO was singularly unimpressed with Vaughan and Rusk all the way back in 2010!!

 

[criso]

BBC starting now

 

[rosiesowner]

'alls well that ends well'

on behalf of everyone watching... shut up

 

[Wishfilly]

I'm not sure that Karim should have attempted the second part of that double

Yeah not sure it was the right choice, but a split second decision I guess?

 

[Snow Falcon]

BBC1 now

 

[Splash2310]

What an honest horse to keep going! Riders reaction made me laugh - knew he messed up but couldn’t be more chuffed with the horse!

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

BBC have just switched to Eventing, after a lot of waffle about athletics not happening because of the rain.

 

[DabDab]

Live on BBC now

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

ahhhh BBC at last

 

[Lexi_]

have they? On bbc1?

yup!

 

[Kat]

Just wait for Michael J to come out and jump a fabulous clear!

And he's only 6.5 penalties from the individual gold!!!

 

[Snow Falcon]

Thank god for Ian?

 

[teapot]

Live scores are back

ETS: gone again.

 

[rosiesowner]

my goodness this course is taking no prisoners. anyone who gets a clear let alone inside the time should rightly be chuffed. we're seeing some of the best combinations having real trouble. i am so so so so nervous!

 

[humblepie]

Still like Virgil, he is so cute.

 

[TPO]

Why is the commentator SO obsessed with rider ages??

 

[Lexi_]

I’m finding this a bit painful to watch. It seems either too hard, or they’re all too tired?

 

[Michen]

Oh Ian. So so soothing.

 

[Kat]

Have switched to the BBC, they had better stick around until the end

 

[Wishfilly]

And he's only 6.5 penalties from the individual gold!!!

The irony if he wins after all that yesterday!

 

[HashRouge]

Kevin McNab's horse is stunning!

 

[Michen]

Why is the commentator SO obsessed with rider ages??

Clearly has a huge issue with his own

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

……….and back to Ian ?

 

[rosiesowner]

nicolas' horse is absolutely stunning. and appears to be jumping out of his skin so far!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Dont forget to switch back to D+ for medal ceremonies after the competition!

 

[Kat]

Why is the commentator SO obsessed with rider ages??

Because it is on his info sheet and he doesn't have any actual useful knowledge.

Thank goodness for Scotty and Nick Luck on the BBC

 

[DabDab]

Yeah not sure it was the right choice, but a split second decision I guess?

I think most people would have circled from the second element. Presumably he is pretty used to his horses being very honest and brave

 

[Snow Falcon]

Great round

 

[Honey08]

Pressure on! Well done Nicolas.

 

[humblepie]

Brilliantly ridden to get the time, moving on after the fences. Fabby dabby

 

[piebaldproblems]

First clear!

 

[rosiesowner]

He should feel like he won the gold just for going clear in the time!! love his reaction, i feel like that round has changed the vibe a bit for the better.
