Are we possible on for both a Gold and Silver?

[Toes]

We are the only country to have two clear rounds in the showjumping, How brilliant would it be if we got a gold and a silver!!!!!!!

The jump off is going to be nail biting!

[Euphemia]

It is very exciting. The British horses and riders are certainly in form.

[Toes]

It's been a long time coming, but Euph, its been well worth the wait!

They were saying on tv last night that we're doing well in equestrian because of the home advantage to the horses


Who cares as long as we win

[Toes]

Hmmmm Elvis, that must by why the chinese and the greeks did so well in Bejing and Athens (not a medal between them).

I don't know why the media, cannot just get behind our sportsmen and women, instead of looking for reasons, they are all doing well "because they are" end of

[marval]

Good luck to them, two medals would be great.

I saw that too Elvis and was quite surprised by the comments, as the horses are flown over weeks before the games, not economy class the day before.

home advantage does help in the Olympics (though I don't know if it helps horses too)

Ahhhhhhh, so near and yet so far!!!!!!!

Well done Gerco Schroder

[ELVIS68]

Probably because they ate them in Bejing and Athens

Naughty Elvis lol

Oh dear. But isn't Skelton the consummate professional? Not blaming anyone or anything "just one of those things". Claire Balding seemed to try and find excuses (was it the PA? Is the horse tired after having to do an additional jump off?). No says Nick, he's not touched a fence all week, he's raring to go, just one of those things. End of. Shame but well done on the Team Gold.

Agree totally Barmaid, lovely, lovely, proffecional sportsman.
