Tokyo Showjumping thread

I really hope Sweden win gold. Yes I want gb to do well but honestly Sweden really deserve it at this point.

I don’t think this is right as it’s the same symbols for the vertical fences. I assumed it was green clear, amber is a fence down and red is a stop.

I hadn't seen it come up for the verticals but would be an easier system.

I'm moving between the sj and MP run currently.

 

[Kadastorm]

It’s ok I got it back 😅

 

[Sandstone1]

They havent, its still on red button. oh no. now its gone

 

[Equi]

Unfortunate poles but overall a better round than yesterday for Harry.

 

[dixie]

Shame for Harry but good well ridden round.
is it worth Ben jumping now?

 

[lannerch]

i think so! Didn’t hold out much hope after seeing Denver and Romeo in the Nations Cup a little while ago.

Why oh why are they there then, is there really such a lack of substance at home?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

If Harry didn't expect a clear then why was he taken in the 1st place? Yes, a better round but a little too much now?

 

[Kadastorm]

Much better round from Romeo but I do feel for Harry. I guess we will have to see whether Ben does jump but may not be worth it 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Discovery on mute. BBC decided it's not worth showing🙁

If Harry didn't expect a clear then why was he taken in the 1st place? Yes, a better round but a little too much now?

Because if he didn’t team gb would have had to pull out as Scott brash wasn’t going to be riding (injury)

i know, that’s why I was shocked to see them on the team. Holly is a classy rider but I don’t think Denver or Romeo are up to Olympic level personally 😕

 

[splashgirl45]

has anyone got the SJ

 

[dixie]

Ppentathlon is exiting tho!

 

[Equi]

Ben will ride, no point not after doing all the prep but he will know it isn’t going to get us a medal.

 

[dixie]

has anyone got the SJ

no they switched it to Pentathlon 🙄

I think that was in the context that after he had to retire from the individual he didn’t feel he’d get a clear round. They just didn’t seem together but have got better

Yes, I realise about today but I was meaning whether it was too early for the combination to be at this level. We don't seem to have much depth in the squad maybe?

 

[humblepie]

Lucky through the treble but a very fast round.

 

[simsy6]

Any idea of BBC is going to show the rest of the final?!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

They did say they would be back for the conclusion

 

[simsy6]

I'm guessing will be back on Red Button? It's always confusing how they switch back and forth!

Ooh I see

 

[dixie]

Wheres the jumping gone ?

Totally agree

 

[fetlock]

Looks like we'll be lucky not to finish last in this

 

[humblepie]

Weird flashback - at one point there during Rene Tebbel's round, his position and way of riding looked just like Paul Schockemohle. Sorry I know that isn't spelt correctly. Was a good round.

 

[Andie02]

It's pants coverage.......but of course everything stops for chuffing football.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

The team didn't do well in Rio either but when you looked at the team it had far more experience. The team now is probably at least half the age of the one that went to Rio🤭

 

[Tiddlypom]

Jumping is still on Discovery+ but has switched channels.
