Wasn't it wonderful??!!! Hands up who else cried - I certainly did!!!! YAY!!!!!!! Perhaps it'll spur the BEEB to show more (and advertise when it's on Interactive . . . . )

 

[Thistle]

Fantastic, really exciting yesterday and today. I cried too.
Frank Osholt is cute.

 

[MagicMelon]

Yey!! Excellent. Sooooooooo nerve racking though!!!!

 

[Horseymum]

Brilliant result for both Zara and the Team, well done! Oh and I got a bit emotional too as well as not breathing for most of her round!

 

[Puppy]

*raises hand* Yes I had tears in my eyes, especially when they mentioined that Zara was friends with Sherelle Duke - that really had me bawling!!

And Hayliana, yes I agree, he is a bit attractive

missed that bit... welling up again now...

 

[miss_bird]

My poor dog got such a shock when Zara finished her round and i started jumping up screaming and shouting, Thank God OH is out fishing.
Zara was sooooo cool and collected what an inspiration to us all

 

[shadow_leader]

What a superb result - she really is talented. Zara for Sports Personality of the Year now - she must have a superb chance.

 

[henryhorn]

Well done to them all, especially Zara. Of all the entrants in that competition she will have been under the most pressure and scrutiny from day one.
How proud must her parents' must be and I bet her Grandparents shed a tear or two at home.
Our future looks bright for the Olympics but of course a long way to keep horses sound and happy. Well done to Ollie Townend too, I saw him at Bicton and he has that aura of greatness about him so few ever get.
Phew, about time I put the roast in the Aga, I've done b all today except watch the tv!

 

[Puppy]

Yeah when they said that I gave up trying not to cry. And the shots of her hugging her father and bf, bless her!

[Moggy in Manolos]

I just caught the last 10mins of it on bbc2, i forgot it was on! arghh,but i did get to see zara win which was good,but wish i would have seen it all

 

[flohelf]

Just want to join in and say BRAVO to the GB Team and to Zara !

Gold and silver: Good show and well done to all your competitors indiv or team.

I'm happy for Amy T. for her Bronze medal. Bet everyone in the US is a bit sad about the team missing the podium though...

 

[vivhewe]

I was so pleased for her! She really deserves it after coming second so many times in the past

I bet Bettina Hoy is as sick as a pig though the poor cow

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant!!! Stunning riding from Zara, even though there were a few sticky moments! The look on her face when she'd realised she'd done it, really was lovely to see, i nearly cried!! Especially after the tragedy of sherelle dukes death last week, what a way to remember her good friend!!
I have to say i thought this WEG eventing was superb!! Much better then athens olympics, a real trial!

 

[SecretSquirrell379]

I thought it was lovely when Zara was interviewed she said that she was determined to win for Sherelle Duke. She was fighting back the tears. It must of been a very emotional day for them all

 

[teapot]

I cried bucketssssss

Fantastic results for both team and individual. Although disappointed that we didn't get team gold - felt the Germans rode the best they have as a team for a long while.

And am I right in thinking everyone in the GB squad got a clear round? (bar Zara but then 1 down for Toytown is fab)

 

[Bossanova]

well done toytown, didnt think much of zaras xc riding if I'm honest. But hey, it won her gold!!

 

[Baggybreeches]

Ever since I saw him trot up at Badminton in 2002! Don't tell the OH he will stop paying for it! Hee Hee

 

[buckybee]

I suppose you would have done better???

 

[teapot]

I think Boss is entitled to her opinion though.

I couldn't do any of that but didn't think it was the best xc round I've seen

 

[madgirl]

i think boss was comparing it to others reather than herself i know i couldnt do any better but i didnt think it was a great round was abit sticky!!

 

[buckybee]

We all have sticky rounds! do we not? I'm more proud of her for over coming those sticky moments, she kicked on and did well!!!!

 

[Baggybreeches]

I also know what Boss means. It was not perhaps copybook, but Job Done! Toytown was very generous a couple of times but he was also a bit too relaxed about it at times. This sport as everyone knows requires Good Luck as much as all the other ingredients.
