2024 Olympics - Eventing

John said a rider fall but I don’t know. :woman_shrugging:

Our commentary team here said the horse went lame and didn’t mention a fall!

Agree - he was absolutely blazing fast so maybe that caught him out?

Scores show as retired though

The live score is showing Kevin as plain retired, no fence associated.

but he was off his horse so I wonder… We will have to wait for the post mortems.

Damn, Caroline and Jonelle’s 20s aren’t looking so detrimental after all. Two clears for Canada though! That puts them in a great position!

I think any spectator who leans into a galloping lane with their camera needs to be sent to the guillotine!

I’m happy for Karl! Glad he kept Bobo as she was for sale as a young horse and no one bought her, so he just kept campaigning her - look at her now!!

Karl with Hot bobo took the same long route at 3rd water, as did Mike. perhaps a team decision?
and only a few time penalties for Karl

Nutcracker has such a lovely gallop.

Jon said maybe an appeal on the Caroline stop

i thought it was at the C element where the ground on the turn is getting slippery?

Someone stopping there??

I haven’t seen many go thru the ditch. How could there be a problem?

How would they appeal a stop? Because of how that jump is numbered?
