He isn't half sticking it to the British riders for fences down
Seems to have forgotten that Tom has an individual medal
You know that Laura would have done better if she left the fences up ?

Was just about to say the same - our riders doing their lap of honour and he was just banging on about the poles they had down. Such a shame when they should have been being bigged up and celebrated!

He called one of them 'a keen rider'! I can't imagine anyone getting to the Olympics if they weren't a keen rider!

??? Chuffed for Team GB!! ???
??What a team we have??
Would have loved to see Oliver win the individual gold but hey double bronze in the dressage, gold and silver in the eventing, what are we getting in the showjumping????
I hope they'll be a thread for that tomorrow.
I see Holly Smith has been replaced with Harry Charles for the individual.

Anyone else find the medal ceremony ruined by the need to yell F*£# OFF at the commentator every 2 minutes?

Waffled a lot!
Does anyone else feel as worn out as if they’d ridden it themselves! After all the 4am finishes and emotional rollercoasters!!

I *think* there were five, but could be wrong. There certainly weren't many!

I feel like getting round with only 4 faults was a real achievement with that course. And during the cross country, Ian Stark commented that Tom's horse was very consistent in the show jumping but both Laura's and Oli's were prone to have a pole down.

Ah mud, splendid
Yes he's great, so so preferable to Clare Balding being on everything all the time and her unique style of pouncing on riders the moment they leave the ring with predictable, not very well researched questions

That is amazing. Japan have been really impressive, hopefully this games will give them a great platform to build from

He said he was going to interview them again after the medal ceremony so I'll keep an eye on the round up programmes.

Formal complaints in for Vaughn please! I know people complained after the last one but worth doing it again imo
Comments about Alex were not okay and neither was any of that stuff about women winning medals.

David Vaughn on Discovery+... Alan Partridge would have done a better job! It would be funny if it wasn't the fact it is THE OLYMPICS!!!

I just don't understand why we can't have the main Olympic Broadcast Company commentary
