Fantastic - fingers crossed my live streaming works (doubtful, it hasnt so far) - do you know what time kick off is?

 

[SJFAN]

Yes, according to the programme and the start list it's 11am so 10am for us in Britain. Break due at 13.55 their time after the first 67, restarting 14.40 with finish scheduled for 16.45.

is it on the tv??

 

[SJFAN]

Look at the WEG website for the Eurosport times (highlights) , but remember the times are 1 hr ahead of Britain. BBC is not due to show anything till the weekend - see my post in the No WEG tomorrow thread.

I have Quick Time and it didn't work for me. Check or download version 7 as it only works on that and you get sound as well. The commentator is very good (I have heard him at a few shows abroad, shame they can't get him to do a few over here), and although it is mostly in German is clear and can understand what is going on. Good roud by JW and Peppermill.

Come on Ireland, I see Cian O'Connor is def out so, heard it at work, but could find no confirmation online.

 

[MagicMelon]

Yeah, the live streaming thing isnt working. Ive been watching it on there fine last week but not working just now?!

 

[The Voice]

could be demand as i have it running on another computer. Tim just went and had 2 fences down in a resonable time and is 14 out of the 39 gone.

 

[The Voice]

Marie Burke just gone clear and into 2nd place - very good round

 

[MagicMelon]

AGHHH streaming really is not working!! Saying something about bandwith! (I assume theirs as mine is fine!).

Does ANYONE know if its on TV (sky or normal) at ALL today????

 

[SJFAN]

Live stream has been working ok for me since before 10am. I don't have Eurosport - according to the TV timetable on the WEG website Eurosport is due to show highlights of today tomorrow morning between 11.30 & 1 so 10.30 to 12 BST.

 

[The Voice]

According to the WEG site he's a reserve, and according to Aertel last night he had a win somewhere on Casper and was supposed to be heading for Aachen today for the World Championships...?

Superville has a bruised shoulder

 

[The Voice]

thanks for the update on Superville, glad it was not to serious.

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

Bezzie Madden won the first class on Authentic
Marie Burke was 9th
Shane Breen 31st
Cameron Hanley 42nd
Billy Twomey 68th
John Whittaker 28th
Micheal Whittaker 46th
Tim Gedley 47th
Nick Skelton 69th

Some interesting results there - what on earth happened to Malin Bayard? Hers is not a name I expected to see there! That was a huge class. Interestingly 2 Belgian born riders who have recently swapped to Ukranian nationality are in the top 15, bet that's miffed a few!

 

[Emily99]

How did Ludo and Parco get on?

 

[SJFAN]

Parco (like many others) hit the 2nd part of the double of Liverpools (10B) and is in 13th place on 2.05 penalties. Full results are available on the WEG website.

 

[SJFAN]

Malin's elimination came when Butterfly Flip refused twice at 10A (vertical & water tray) - they were clear to that point.

 

[sherwood']

[Lobelia_Overhill]

No idea about Cian...

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

Just found this on Cian's site...

Waterford Crystal is withdrawn from the Irish Team today.
It is with the greatest disappointment that I have had to withdraw Waterford Crystal from the Irish Team at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany today. Although he passed the initial vetting, and jumped extremely well in the warm-up class, and appeared to be hitting top form. We had him out for a walk last evening but he didn't seem to be in the best. We got the team vet, Marcus Swail to take a look at him and it was agreed between myself, the vet and team manager Robert Splaine to withdraw him rather than jeopardise the teams chances for the Nations Cup. Luckily Marie Burke and Chipposon are on hand to take our place, I wish them the very best.

I thought Waterford Crystal looked a bit "off his game" at Dublin...
