Double Gold!!

I am assuming from this thread that team gb did well?! I have no idea I have not been following weg but this thread made me laugh -i have NO idea what was going on who was even jumping so reading it is entertaining!

hahahaha

I can imagine that it doesn't make a lot of sense. It was very tight at the top with a lot of influential poles shaking the individual rankings up quite a lot.

 

[Wishful]

Yay! Also thrilled for Padraig!!! Devon based after all!

 

[Templebar]

Gutted for Ingrid, its the worst at the last, but he rattled a few her luck was just not holding this time. So pleased for team GB and Ros.

 

[CoachinaCar]

Ros was amazing, how cool was she on that round, she sat so quiet, no over riding, no panicking, truly amazing.

Felt for Ingrid but Ros jumped the better round in all sorts of ways.

Team GB, so proud of you.

Hope we see some mention in the general media, fantastic win!

 

[oldie48]

Just fantastic, almost fell out with OH over who was walking the dog, I did and missed the first of the Brits but just oh wow!!!!!!

 

[ester]

bet the irish are going to have a good party ....

 

[Templebar]

The strength of our team that 4 of the 5 finished in the top 12. Shame about Gemma's poles but she did a fantastic job as pathfinder which was always her role, and i would think that will continue going forward. The Irish have come on so well too, its nice to see a few of them in the top placings.

Oh I’m so sorry for ingrid, she was so upset. She didn’t deserve that last fence

I feel really sorry for Ingrid too, such an amazing horsewoman.
But I think with the 3 decent rubs prior to the last she was kind of due a fence!

Ros Canter is my hero!
Well done team GB x

 

[caladria]

Got to feel for Ingrid, heartbreaking with a super, super horse. But Ros!! Just perfect. And team Ireland in second - wouldn't actually have been annoyed if they'd won it, however traitorous that makes me sound.

I'd just like to point out Japan in fourth there... I know a lot of the big teams had issues, but that's an amazing result two years before their home Olympics.

 

[Sophire]

I so feel for Ingrid, Hale Bob is some horse. Overjoyed for Ros though, just keep piling the pressure on her and she stays cool and delivers!!! So deserving of double gold, I don't think there's a more humble character in the sport!

nice chunky blokes watch for everyone then

According to the commentary, those are not "watches", those are "time pieces" :lol:

 

[ester]

commemorative time pieces!

 

[PolarSkye]

Amazing result - much deserved. Ros Canter is super cool, and how lovely to see the selectors proved right.

PS

 

[Winifleur]

Where did we finish please and the lovely Mr Canter, such a cool name for what he does for a living ��

 

[ester]

Mr!?!

 

[AmyMay]

Gutted for Ingrid. But wow what a fabulous, amazing result for team GB and Ms 😋 Canter.

And we didn't need the world number one to do it......🤗

 

[Winifleur]

Typo! Bloody phone

My BBC Sport packed up during Piggy's round; did GB get the team gold?

yep, team and individual gold

 

[cauda equina]

yep, team and individual gold

Hooray!

 

[DragonSlayer]

Ros is a local person too! Just a few miles up the road...

 

[Winifleur]

Typo! Bloody phone

 

[hibshobby]

She is always a class act - win or lose, she's the same. Never blames the horse and always first to credit the horse. Great rider and great team member - except she's not on the team

 

[Honey08]

Lol, that thought entered my head too AmyMay, and all the people grumbling that we didn't stand a chance without him seem to have quietened down too.

Ros has proved herself again to be a super cool team player. Much deserved double. (Poor Ingrid though!)

Ps, who are you talking about not on the team? Tina?

 

[hobo]

Awesome result lovely to see Ros she was super cool as were all of our team. I am also pleased for Japan as well some of there support team were in our hotel.

Erm yes Ros is on the team!

 

[Wishful]

Going to make the Olympic qualifying interesting as all 3 strong teams from groups F and G (AUS, NZL and Japan) are already qualified - so hope for South Africa and Hong Kong maybe. Pretty well guarantees qualification for Alex Hua Tian on the individual rankings as well...

USA, Canada and Brazil will be battling it out in the Pan And.

Euros will be tough for Western European teams with Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium all battling for 2 places!
