xc olympics!

[Adelaideandie]

Watching live in oz!

Seem to be a lot of horses slipping, comp still delayed think they are still looking for gin and juice, someone has just gone off in an ambulance

Just to make you all jealous..........foxtel (AKA sky!) has got 8 channels for the olympics and one dedicated to equestrian (and a few other sports). Looking forward to Mary

thanks

naughty pony..... clearly thought doing it alone was better for her 15 mins of fame!!!

Hahaha! I saw her run infront of the camera, ears pricked, head up and a nice gallop. Clearly impressed with the attention

Not sure why someone going off in an ambulance warrants a grinning smilie.

Those in the UK with Sky/Virgin/Freesat have 24 dedicated channels, with the rest of us relying on t’internet or red button. Will grant you the only downside to your country hosting the Games is that most of it’s on while you’re at work, tho Ho hum.

Order a coffee
Seriously though, it's taking a while.
In other news, I think I could be a good equestrian presenter.

''Yep, well they're experienced. Horse is going well.''
*Horse stumbles slightly or puts in an extra stride*
''OOOOOOOHH, OH MY GOODNESS''
*Spills mine and everyone's coffees from shouting.


What do you all think?

Sky has 24 channels for the Olympics!!!

 

[pootleperkin]

Mary supposedly 14:02, but now been held in total about 15 - 20 mins....
So I would add at least 15 mins to all of these:
Zara : 15:06
Tina: 16:10
Wills : 17:14

 

[HashRouge]

I've only got Freeview, but that's fine since everything is on the red button on BBC.

I saw the ambulance as well - was it Hawley? I hope G&J didn't collide with a crowd member or steward or something...

Ambulance just left, think the canadian, Bennett was inside, according to Lucinda Green

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Ooo about to restart...

 

[Janette]

Must have been a bad fall. I think the ambulance is still there.

Just started again.

 

[jinglejoys]

And those of us who can't afford fancy channels have to switch to whatever channel they've switched to everhy few seconds!

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Am recording it, we do have tv in work canteen but people are watching the big bang theory which I loathe so no chance if seeing it til I get home

 

[HashRouge]

And we're off again, but the rider has just fallen!

[catwithclaws]

blimey! first rider after this break, and another fall

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Dear lord another faller at 3!!

 

[HashRouge]

And it was definitely Hawley in the ambulance - hope she's okay!

 

[Mascara.]

*Goes into the kitchen and makes another cup of tea*

 

[Bertolie]

Well he didn't last long either but at least he's up and horse caught! Hawley taken off in ambulance.two more before mary.

 

[Hollycatt]

Oh dear I hope everyone is safe and well. Time for some ice cream while waiting

 

[Dunlin]

God damnit! What channel now? Ive got tennis on BBC 1 and Table tennis on BBC 3 but oth channels say eventing coverage!! This is shambolic.

 

[Mascara.]

Marshmellows

 

[Shooting Star]

hope they've got flood lights down there - with the rate of fallers and delays this may take some time

... given that the commentators said at the start that many of the riders had said the course didn't offer many technical challenges - plenty seem to be having uncomfortable rounds!!

 

[HashRouge]

I'm watching on the red button Dunlin, but keep an eye on BB1 and BBC3. I was watching on BB1 before the break and they said they would def be back for Mary

 

[pootleperkin]

TBH you weren't missing much - it was all course held and is back on BBC1 now
