Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

Beautiful round, and a first ever female gold medalist in the individual eventing! Amazing, especially given the back story!

Awesome for Tom too, really well deserved, so pleased for him

Bronze for Andrew Hoy is fab too!

 

[Michen]

Can't deny how deserved that was. So happy for Tom

 

[OldNag]

We've not done too badly though, have we - Team Gold and Individual Silver.

 

[humblepie]

Beautiful rounds by the winner.

 

[Apercrumbie]

Julia is only 26!

 

[SEL]

Non horsey OH has just said Julia's horse really, really knows how to clear a fence - lovely to watch

 

[teapot]

First ever female gold winner and on the only mare! Good on her!

Well done to Tom too!

 

[DabDab]

So well deserved for Julia, and silver for Tom ?

 

[TPO]

Aww Wilberry is there ?

 

[piebaldproblems]

Hang on so who’s third?

 

[ecb89]

How refreshing is it to see different names topping the leaderboard.

 

[Coblover63]

Girl power ?

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

The top 3 were on the best show jumpers. They all really pinged .Great competition

 

[rosiesowner]

Top 10 finish for all three of our riders. What a result!

 

[Kat]

Hang on so who’s third?

Andrew Hoy

 

[PoppyAnderson]

Gutted for them. They should be celebrating their awesome gold win but they will all be kicking themselves instead about their individual rounds. Terrible format.

 

[hoofprints1994]

Hang on so who’s third?

Andrew Hoy!

 

[Honey08]

All three medalists looked superb in that round and deserved it.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Rishi talking

 

[RachelFerd]

Also an incredible result for Andrew Hoy - the only combination to FOD at the end of the individual jumping. And at 62 years old!

 

[piebaldproblems]

Did discovery commentator just say “I don’t know how this works”…

 

[WelshHoarder]

Absolutely beautiful round by Julia, and love how she was giving her horse the accolade at the end - always nice to see another fantastic mare at the top. She deserves that medal after two super rounds.

Gutted for Laura, and Oli in particular, but they’re still Olympic Gold medallists, an amazing achievement in itself.

Super happy for Tom with his Silver though, and also Andrew Hoy, a master at work indeed.

Honourable mention for Kazu, so close but a fabulous result for the home side.

On the whole, it’s been an incredible 4 days of competition that I’ve been absolutely glued to ????

 

[Rowreach]

Aww Wilberry is there ?

And the Irish had their yellow ribbons for Tiggy.

 

[Honey08]

Gutted for them. They should be celebrating their awesome gold win but they will all be kicking themselves instead about their individual rounds. Terrible format.

I know. ?. But hopefully the medal ceremony will pick them up again and remember how awesomely well they’ve done.

 

[Wishfilly]

Really good result in the end, but definitely not sure about the two phases of showjumping- so many horses, especially earlier on, just looked tired.

I thought Team GB did so well! And especially well done to Tom!

 

[Austen123]

i would like to claim a part of the silver medal . must of been those capri suns my mum used to buy us when she was on the school run on the way home ?

 

[conniegirl]

The 2 rounds of SJ is not a new thing

 

[Lexi_]

Gutted for them. They should be celebrating their awesome gold win but they will all be kicking themselves instead about their individual rounds. Terrible format.

I mean Tom will be quite happy!

 

[HashRouge]

I really adore Rishi, he's a great cheerleader for these riders!

 

[Honey08]

Yes please can we keep Rishi as commentator for Badminton and Burghley in the future.
