[humblepie]

Gosh that was some jump off, all clear. Right proper show jumping!

 

[Kadastorm]

Oh my, who is cutting onions? ???

 

[HashRouge]

Oh why am I crying

 

[dixie]

Amazing horses - all jumped clear but the best one definitely won ?

 

[Equi]

if this isn't an argument for more equestrian coverage on UK telly I don't know what is, medals in all 3 olympic disciplines

We’ve done damn well. ?? For one more in the teams.

 

[sheep]

Awwww everyone crying. I think I have something in my eye ?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

It stays British?

 

[cold_feet]

Please show it again now ????

 

[criso]

I think the other passengers on the train wondered what I was watching. That was close.

 

[Lexi_]

Oh my god I don’t believe it! I’m crying, Ben’s crying, I think even Andy Austin on the commentary is crying!

 

[NinjaPony]

Wow! Just amazing, can’t believe we’ve got another individual gold for SJ!

 

[Bellaboo18]

[Equi]

Who’s on the phone lol

 

[HashRouge]

Oh god Explosion's gorgeous face <3

 

[Kat]

Oh Ben's having a little cry

 

[piebaldproblems]

So a Brit and a barefoot on the podium? What more can you ask for

Even the awful Discovery commentators got excited over these last rounds.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Ben and two barefooters?

 

[WelshHoarder]

Well done Ben! Seeing Ben and his team in tears set me off ?

So well deserved, love watching those two together

 

[Asha]

That was absolutely brilliant.

 

[NinjaPony]

To be fair, I’m liking the emphasis on the horse. Obviously Ben is extremely talented and I would never underestimate the skill it takes to ride a horse like that, but his horse is something very special and it’s great to see that being celebrated too.

 

[Lexi_]

I love Rishi. He’s been so great during this Olympics.

 

[Bellaboo18]

Whoever is whistling should be chucked out.

The whistling comes from the riders team to tell them when they need to go faster. I assume it's that whistling you're hearing, I'm on mute ?

 

[Equi]

I’m glad the swedes got one though, wel deserved.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Ben and two barefooters?

Explosion being barefoot in the next Olympics?

 

[Kat]

What a performance from the Swedes though, 2, 4 and 5 - they will be unbeatable in the team competition if they carry on like this.

Though I think we stand a good chance of a medal. Wouldn't six of six be incredible!?

 

[Supertrooper]

Yes

I was so hoping he’d win

I thought outside assistance wasn't permitted? It really put one rider off, and in the jump off it started over the second fence for one of the riders, it was commented on by the commentator.

I missed it being commentated upon but can remember similar a few times at HOYS when it was at Wembley with riders basically being told to get a move on!
