Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

[piebaldproblems]

As someone who can’t use the BBC anyway, I’m feeling very smug seeing everyone return to Discovery.

The pretty Irish horse is up!

Sam Watson in now

 

[Lexi_]

I LOVE Sam’s horse.

 

[Wishfilly]

Unlucky poles for Sam.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Shame for Sam

 

[HashRouge]

Sam's horse is beautiful!

 

[Kat]

Oh disappointing, Flamenco looked very strong though

 

[WelshHoarder]

Absolutely love Sam’s horse

 

[SOS]

Just tuned in as my meeting overran! I believe Tom has gone clear? Are they jumping in order of placing as per a three day?

 

[Snow Falcon]

Well done

I've no real clue about eventing, so I'm just shooting from the hip here but I'm not a fan of this extra show jumping round. Horses have worked hard and done their job and it feels unfair to ask them to go out and do a 2nd round. One round has always worked perfectly well in the past.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Lovely ride from the Italian, horse looked quite happy too

got delayed walking my dogs, we lost the ball in the river and spent ages trying to get it but gave up in the end, managed to see toms round, fabulous,he looked very fresh

 

[piebaldproblems]

Go on, MJ, just one little pole down will do...

 

[Wishfilly]

Michael Jung on now

 

[Kat]

Michael Jung in now, strange not to see him in the number one spot for Germany. It would be handy if he had a pole to give us some breathing space.

I don’t like it either, but Olympic rules are Olympic rules ??‍

 

[Snow Falcon]

Shut up Richard

 

[teapot]

Think BBC will go back - they're showing medal races, cycling's almost over

Olympic rules are that you cant get 2 medals for the same effort so they have to have the extra round

 

[HashRouge]

Lovely round from Michael, absolute masterclass! He's going to be fuming about those 11 penalties for a while I should think.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Lovely round

 

[Honey08]

Good round for Micheal. He’ll be gutted.

 

[Lexi_]

Annoyingly perfect clear from Michael Jung there.

 

[Wishfilly]

Nice clear inside the time for MJ.

 

[Kat]

Chipmunk looked as though he had scope to burn, giving the fences plenty of space. Our team need to be really careful.

Not just yet

All the Tullabeg horses are gorgeous ?

Oh lord, get it right!!!
