Phew that was tense!! Wow

 

[HashRouge]

Oh well done Ben! I had to turn the Discovery+ commentator off though, as soon as he starts saying how good a horse is, I feel like he curses them! I mean, Explosion is magnificent, but let's not jinx anything!

 

[Equi]

BBC2 peeps. Ditch Discovery!!!

I’m worried they will cut out without warning in the middle of a round lol

 

[NinjaPony]

Explosion has barely broken sweat…. Probably the most impressive horse in the field, can’t help but hope he gets a medal to pay testament to his talent.

 

[Kat]

YESSSSSSS!


Explosion W is incredible! Looking really positive but it will be close!

How many jump off?

 

[piebaldproblems]

How soon is the jump off? Discovery as usual not giving any helpful information...

 

[criso]

And rishi's back

 

[Annagain]

How many jump off?

6

 

[Kat]

Rishi is as excited as us! Isn't he great!?

 

[piebaldproblems]

Also now I'm having a look at the results, why did Harry retire?

[DabDab]

They can't walk the jump off?!?

Well this is going to be exciting!

about 10 mins

6

Thankyou and say all of these riders got tons of time penalties then is there any chance of the 7th place moving up or will these always be the top 6 and this decides the medals?

 

[Bellaboo18]

Also now I'm having a look at the results, why did Harry retire?

Poles flying everywhere. Looked the right decision.

 

[ThreeWBs]

Also now I'm having a look at the results, why did Harry retire?

Few faults and miscommunications and he rightfully retired

 

[Kat]

Rishi reckons 15 minutes, apparently the riders don't get to walk the jump off course so it will be a big disadvantage to go last.

 

[DabDab]

Just wasn't really coming together for them so I guess he thought continuing was doing more harm than good

 

[Bellaboo18]

They will always be the top 6 now ?

 

[Willowbankstables]

When is the jump off!? Trying to decide when to go out and run some errands!

 

[criso]

15 minutes according to rishi but that was a few minutes ago

 

[ThreeWBs]

FYI

No, these six will stay top six and can't move down now. The jump off decides the order between the top six who are currently tied for first place.

 

[teapot]

Jump off time is 45 seconds

 

[Annagain]

And rishi's back

I've really enjoyed Rishi at the equestrian events. You can tell that, while he might not be the most knowledgeable, he really loves the horses and the sport. Trying to explain what the eventers meant when they described their horses as "honest" was a high point. It was obvious he knew but he couldn't quite put it into words for the casual viewer.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I still have D on laptop with TV on athletics which I enjoy anyway-come on KJT

Oh no, Kat?

 

[Kat]

I'm going back to D+ to avoid missing anything. I might switch if BBC show the jump off

Would it not be a disadvantage to go first, as you can’t see how it jumps?
