We don’t get to see explosion now either. Don’t blame Ben good decision save the horse ?

It is close for the medals. I know a lot would say the last round wasn't particularly stylish but gosh he is a keen horse and takes some riding.

Shocking coverage of sj. On, off, on and now off again ?

It's a hard and demanding course in very hot conditions. I really don't see the point asking Explosion to jump round just to "finish on a good note". Neither he nor Ben have anything to prove - 100% the correct decision.

Just looks like they're doing a replay at the moment? Terrible coverage from the BBC

It’s about the horse. The horses are worth huge amounts of money and anything can go wrong at any point. Ben isn’t going to want to jump around this very big, tough and technical course for fun.

It’s on a break at the moment whilst they level the course

I agree. They’re not machines. Save him for another day.

Oh I see, thanks! Hard to know what was going on, I've been switching from one BBC channel to the next trying to figure it out!

I'd love to have seen Ben ride, but it's so horribly hot and it's a tough course, so best to give Explosion a break.

The background sound on ambient on Discovery+ is truly weird. Only got it on so can hear when they start again. Ah just heard them say starting again in 9 minutes.

Was just going to say exactly the same. So emotional when he said Explosion was going home as Olympic Champion.

I think its putting far too much pressure on horses and riders in all disciplines to have only 3 in a team and all 3 to count.

This is too much hard work trying to find the channels it’s being shown on !

Back on Eurosport now. It's a PIA trying to keep up with the coverage.

Yeah I suppose so explosions nothing to prove. I was being selfish wanting to see him ?

You just have to tune out Dicky and watch on Discovery, at least the coverage is there.
