Oh god here comes Laura I think I’m gonna be sick… my nerves!
I’ll be selfishly honest - a tiny delay on video is okay with me on XC as I never want to see a tragic fall.
I am sure that is why they are doing it
I think as long as the riders treat with caution and don’t take the course for granted (*cough cough-Boyd), they should be fine. I wondered if that would happen after the first rotation made it look pretty easy.
Laura is blind in one eye???
Riding accident I think wasn’t it?
Yes - from wikipedia:
Following a heavy fall from her horse in 2013, Collett had to be resuscitated five times and given an emergency tracheotomy by paramedics after suffering a fractured shoulder, broken ribs, a punctured lung, a lacerated liver and damage to her kidneys. Also, a fragment of her shoulder bone had detached and travelled to her right eye through her blood stream and damaged the optic nerve. She was placed in an induced coma for six days.
I - have no words. What an amazing comeback!
commentators said she was appealing. perhaps after realizing the consequences, they did not appeal or withdrew any appeal
I just adore London 52. He makes everything look so easy. Plus I always chuckle about his back to work jumping antics Laura posts
Well done Sweden!
Come on Laura…
Laura taking the other side of 16bc to avoid the small ditch, smart!
OMG
I love smurf level eventing, but not sure I would ever get on a horse again after such horrific injuries, much less compete at the top levels.
If the Brits have minimal time penalties and continue clear, there literally will be no catching them.
I LOVE the tracking shot down the canal!
I know its crazy. She’s amazing.
They have such depth right now as a country too - not his biggest fan but Ollie isn’t even on the team! Not to mention several others who could have given it a good crack.
Oh don’t… I am already dying here and the commentators are determined to jinx it…
