Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

[Wishfilly]

Now, who do we need to have some fences down so Tom can move up? Is it Julia and the Japanese rider?

Tim Price too.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Do the horses have to do another round of SJ?!

If they qualify for the individual final after this team SJ. Fences will be a little higher for individual final.

 

[Kat]

Beautiful from Tom! This bodes well

 

[WelshHoarder]

Super round from Tom, not sure if I can watch Laura and Oli!

 

[Bellaboo18]

So frustrated I have to work today(!!) but got discovery+ on my phone and have one eye on it. Fantastic start for the team from Tom, foot perfect :-D :-D

 

[piebaldproblems]

Am I seeing things or is this Brazillian rider riding bitless?

you’re so on my level!?

 

[Snow Falcon]

There does need to be a few more poles on the ground from teams other than GB.

 

[Wishfilly]

Yes, in a hackamore

 

[TPO]

Just left d+ for bbc. Was so soothing to hear Ian Stark!

 

[Lexi_]

Tim Price too.

Of course! I do like him, but we must have our priorities in order. Clean sweep please!

Love the braziliann hugging his horse despite lots of poles falling

Nice ride to retire on, I think, despite the poles. Amazing hind end on him too.

 

[Kat]

Just switched to the BBC, they are a few minutes behind but the commentary is much better. I'd have stuck with John Kyle but those other two were awful.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Poland won’t be winning gold any time soon but good to have this experience under her belt.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Horse unsettled in mouth

 

[conniegirl]

This young lady is watching the showjumping with me!
Not sure she really understands the intricacies but she keeps cooing at the horses

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

Another who has swopped to BBC, much better commentary.

 

[Snow Falcon]

No, have to go back to Dicky?

 

[Lexi_]

Oh no! Back to the dreaded commentary we go…

 

[Wishfilly]

Oh, that was nearly such a nice round for Japan and then it just fell apart.

 

[teapot]

See my beeb is 25secs in front of Discovery...

Never mind.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Really don’t like seeing those slomos of the spurs digging into the horse’s side. Surely there’s no need for them outside of dressage?

 

[Kat]

Another who has swopped to BBC, much better commentary.

Well that was short lived the BBC have just switched to cycling

 

[Wishfilly]

Ughh BBC!

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

Arggggghhhhhh. Back to D+!

 

[HashRouge]

Oh god Beeb come on! I defend you in everything but this is too frustrating!

 

[Nicnac]

Ugh BBC - CONGRATULATIONS Conniegirl. Gorgeous.

 

[WelshHoarder]

I’ve also gone back to Discovery+ - I could understand it if we were in the finals but I can’t cope with switching back and forth between sports

 

[Honey08]

Aww Conniegirl!
