Tokyo Eventing SJ thread

[Wishfilly]

Well recovered from Laura there, that was a real heart in mouth moment.

 

[hoofprints1994]

Laura did so well to stay composed after that! Really well ridden.

 

[fetlock]

ohhhh nooooo, that’s not good for Laura’s individual chances ?

Does the team score carry over into the individual?
Not fair really if it does (bearing in mind the reason they make them jump again)

 

[Wishfilly]

I think it's perfect. She didn't need a clear in this round. This is the team decider. She's saving her clear round.

This score counts for the individual medals too, doesn't it?

 

[Lexi_]

Just popped off to have a look at the team scores and it’s very tight for silver and bronze!

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

Agh poor Laura.

Is the medal ceremony Team and Individual at the same time? I need to get into the office before the Individual starts to trying to plan timings!

 

[Honey08]

Yes it does. They just said Tom is now above her in the individual medal scores..

 

[RachelFerd]

London really looked quite overwhelmed in there didn't he? Well ridden/survived from Laura there, but would have thought that puts paid to any individual medal hopes for them.

 

[Michen]

How does it work with the individual final? Is the SJ wiped clean again?

 

[HashRouge]

I think it's perfect. She didn't need a clear in this round. This is the team decider. She's saving her clear round.

She did need a clear for her individual chances unfortunately - both rounds count.

 

[Spot the Merry Risk]

I’m too scared to come off Discovery and onto the beeb in case I can’t find eventing in Discovery again! Trying to work, well at least deal with emails!

 

[Snow Falcon]

First bricks out of wall

 

[Honey08]

We need a lot of poles rolling now. Until Oliver, of course!

 

[Wishfilly]

Risking swapping back to BBC, they had better not cut away again

 

[Honey08]

I think they’ll cut away at 1045 when it goes to bbc 1

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

When I went to BBC and then back to Discovery, Discovery picked up where I left so wasn't live and had to fiddle like mad. Sticking with D+ despite shouting Shut Up frequently at the Numbnuts commenting.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Not an awful ride from Jan, was definitely not trying to rush it.

Now Brazilian rider on Goliath, who doesn't look very too happy.

 

[Kadastorm]

These commentators are so annoying, I really wish they had stuck with the guys that have been there throughout!

 

[Kat]

Oli really needs to hold his nerve now.

And we could do with Julia having some poles if we want Tom and Laura to stay in with a chance of an individual medal

Risking swapping back to BBC, they had better not cut away again

They’re probably going to - they’re showing it from 10.45 on BBC1 so I doubt we’ll get it on both channels!

 

[Honey08]

The acoustics are good in this arena. You hear everything they say to their horses and the hoof beats are loud!

 

[RachelFerd]

These commentators are so annoying, I really wish they had stuck with the guys that have been there throughout!

I know.... bring back John and Lucinda ....please!

 

[Snow Falcon]

Oli's a cool customer

 

[Lexi_]

A fence down here would be helpful for Laura…

 

[Supertrooper]

What happened with Laura?

 

[Honey08]

Each time you go back to discovery close it and reopen the equestrian window - it comes back live rather than where you were.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Came in too fast

 

[fetlock]

Shame for the Japanese guy but great for us.

 

[Honey08]

Kazu was a show jumper, so ought to be good here.

oops I jinxed him! Good for us though!

 

[Lexi_]

What happened with Laura?

She had one down - doesn’t really make too much difference to the team score but it’s put her out of the medal places individually.
