Tokyo Showjumping thread

[Bellaboo18]

So who's watching?

Individual qualifier - Tuesday 3rd 11am-2.45pm
Individual final- Wednesday 4th 11am-1.40pm

Team qualifier- Friday 6th 11am-2.05pm
Team final- Saturday 7th 11am-1.30pm

After the Dressage and Eventing Team GB results I've got high expectations! ???

 

[Bellaboo18]

I think the biggest news so far is Harry Charles replacing Holly Smith in the Individual qualifier

 

[milliepops]

Yep getting in the queue to watch ?

Reckon it won't overlap too badly with modern pentathlon sj times cos that's Friday and Saturday too but earlier I think, usually makes for an interesting watch.

 

[teapot]

I'll be dipping in and out, busy work week!

SJ start list is here: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/oly...51(S)B_EQUOJUMPINDV----------QUAL000100--.pdf

 

[Snow Falcon]

Far more civilised times than the eventing xc! Bonus that it's the school holidays. ?

 

[Bellaboo18]

Ah brilliant!
I've loved the dressage and eventing but this is the one I've been waiting for ? so pleased I'll have some company!
Milliepops, I'd completely forgotten about the modern pentathlon...maybe we can make it a combined thread! ?

 

[Kat]

Signing in.

I don't normally follow SJ so might need some help with the format and stuff.

Trying to get into it more now my relative is working on the circuit.

Nah let's have a pentathlon thread too, it will be easier to follow and might get more people interested

Good point, well made.
I take it that's you volunteering to start it ?

 

[Honey08]

I’ll dip in and out. I’m too far behind with things I should have done while I’ve been glued to the eventing (or knackered from the late nights!!)

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Hurray I’m FINALLY on holiday and can join in the watch parties

Give me a nudge the day before ?

Nope I can't watch the modern pentathlon sj, it's too painful.

Looking forward to seeing Harry jump, I get the impression they knew a few days ago that he would be.

 

[DabDab]

Oops, have just started a new thread as couldn't find this (you foxed me by putting it in tack room!).

But yes, I'll be watching. Makes sense to sub Harry for Holly in the individual to give Harry a run since he is travelled all that way, but glad Holly will still be on the team for the team comp

 

[TheMule]

I've got the fact that they take top 30 through to individual final but I can’t find out the class format- today is one round (not speed), so are they planning on therefore taking all clears, then fastest 4 faultlers for example to get those 30?

I assume so - I had a bit of a search for that info last night and couldn't find any clearer details

 

[DabDab]

Yep, this says that it is top 30 by faults and for those tied on faults the places will be given according to the time taken on their round:

Thank you

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

Yes I will be watching! Although if baby is sleeping, by default I will also be sleeping, those are the rules!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I thought it was due to start at 9am today. Another 2 hours to go.

 

[Denbob]

I'll be dipping in and out, actually have to be semi-present at work today - how rude!

 

[humblepie]

Thank you for the start list. Will be dipping in and out as working.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I'm on D+ but it's silent. Anyone else have noise?

If the commentator is the same as eventing SJ I wont try to fix it.

 

[Bellaboo18]

Its silent here as well...

 

[Denbob]

Silent here too

 

[SOS]

I think there’s no sound for everyone judging by BSJA FB page.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I switched to Dutch commentary. That is working.

I dont speak Dutch.

 

[SOS]

Change to ambient sound and it works

Just popped on to ask the same thing. I have switched to the ambiant sounds in case we can hear the ringside announcements. I just want to hear who is in so I don't miss our guys while working.
