The British showjumping team for the London Olympic Games is expected to be announced this week, so who do you think is going to make the cut?
 
Nick and Ben, deffo... The others it's hard to say but I'm going with Guy and Tim.

I just think Tim deserves a crack after what he's come back from.

I do think though, (Nick Skelton aside) the SJ is the weaker equestrian team at the mo.

Nick, Ben, Tim and Guy for me!

This would be my fave but I think other than Nick the others placings are wide open.

I'd love to see Tim in the team as I think he is a fantastic ambassador for SJing but am not sure given his Rotterdam first round NC results.

Would also love JW in the team for nostalgic reasons.

Who knows.
 
Would love to see Tim on the team... fairy tale story to that.
Don't really follow SJ'ing, so not sure who else is on form/good horses. But I also really like Ben's riding, so him too!!
 
Ben and Nick are almost certain of their place going on recent form I'd have thought and on that basis Scott should have earnt his. We all want Tim as he's such a good ambassador for the sport but who gets the last place will come down to other issues that we won't have privvy to, like soundness, suitability to the type of track expected etc.
 
I reckon Nick and Ben are certainties, but looking at the results from the Nations Cup and grand prix in Rotterdam, which I think would have been used to decide the last two places and reserve, I think Scott and Peter, with Tina in reserve
 
I think it will be Nick, Ben, Tina and Scott. I'd love guy to be there, but I think he lost his place when Titus was sold as Zak is an amazing horse, but still inexperienced at champ level!
 
When are they going to announce the team?

I know that Tim has posted on FB that he isn't in the team :(
 
Scott rode Bon Ami in GCT at Monaco last night, the commentator, a non English man, said that Scott always places his horses on the right spot, down to 5 cms, on take off !
Scott rode very very well, and I can see why he has been picked.
Good luck to everyone, the Europeans are looking very strong, should be a must see event.
