I've just watched out three clear rounds on the red button as not long home from the hairdresser! All looked fabulous rounds! Excited to see how the competition progresses!

Pretty sure from listening to the commentary this morning that it's the first one, so Ben Maher as the fastest time will be going last!

God! I'm old enough to remember when the SJ was the v last event at the olympics and was held in the middle of the athletic stadium!!
Do they still ride each others horses in the individual final or am I thinking of the Worlds?

Gah I was out this morning so missed it! Managed to watch Scott and Harry on Stable Express, but does anyone have a link to Ben Maher’s round?
I’m in flipping training all day tomorrow as well - do people not understand the OLYMPIC SHOWJUMPING is on?!

He's on here at around 2hr40 if that helps https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000ylyk/olympics-day-11-red-button-12001500

That was the worlds, was never done in Olympics and it was thankfully stopped after I think but may be wrong one horse getting really upset by all the change of rider

Having been in the Deep South today and only able to hear on the radio how the Irish riders were doing (yay!!) it's been fab to catch up on the day by reading this thread, so thank you all ?

Afraid of exorcism
I honestly preferred the Dutch to the ambient noise. I could figure out what he was saying (not translate but recognise horse names when he was talking about breeding, recognise place names and people names when talking about where a competitor was based, he spoke about the course design at times) and he seemed to will on most competitors.

They've been scarred for life by the eventing commentators yesterday! No-one dares complain about Lucinda again in case we get the other guy back
I missed it all unfortunately as been out all day but I just caught up on Ben, Scott and Harry. They are beautiful riders aren't they? I think top level showjumping can look quite jarring for the horse, but their rounds were about as harmonious as I could have hoped for. Explosion is absolutely magnificent - the BBC commentators were raving about him!

I've checked the fence/faults pdf - caused the same issues other fences did.

It's been so great watching such amazing quality over the last week or so, I am going to have serious withdrawal once the Games are over
Have to say though, there was quite a lot of mouth yanking going on yesterday. Thought the eventers all rode really sympathetically, but some of the showjumpers yesterday were really quite handsy.

To be fair, he terrified me!
I watched the eventing on BBC rather than Eurosport / Discovery+ what did the other commentator do?

I fear work is going to get in the way today.
Anyway I thought it was one round of jumping today but just read it's two-phase so we'll get a jump off ?

It's on Eurosport 2.at 11am but i have to go out at 12 so am recording it.
I only saw the highlights yesterday on iplayer but something struck me. I haven't really followed showjumping for a while, but the horses seem to have changed to lighter, more blood types. They weren't exactly heavy before but more powerful types or maybe i just remembered them that way.

Hi!!!
Just spent the entire of yesterday catching up on the eventing. Think I might skip the sj qualifier and watch live today.
