Badminton 2017 Cross-country

WHOOP WHOOP! Blown away by MJ and Sam’s round. How brilliant.

Wow Michael Jung! Great round!

Yes on Coleman, wish they would split screen jsut to watch a ride during the interviews.

Yes, but I don’t think you can commit to the direct line and not get penalized switching to the option due to presentation or crossing your line.

Wow. Of course he makes the time, of course. Wow.

Yes. There is a little house thing on the side. HSB jumped it then retired. There is a long option too where they do that have to do that but drop in the water.

Another US Rider out…(sigh)

He was bang on, wasn’t he? I stopped watching the time as soon as I watched Sam stretch out because at that point it was clear it was going to happen and there was no point double-checking, but I didn’t see exactly where he landed.

I thought I saw pink on mouth of Lissa Green’s horse at finish - 2 sec view so I could easily be mistaken

Wow! Jung is U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E!! What was that stuffed horse on his back for?

the stuffed horse is for a charity. He was very pleased to be asked to wear it.

It’s a tribute to an eventer that died of cancer, I think.

I guess Wilberry will be auctioned? Buy a horse that’s been round Badminton!

Or does the stuffed animal belong to a child with cancer?

Michael Jung is other-worldly. wow.

Which Americans have gone and how have they done? Can someone give me a link to the live scoring? I am afraid to fiddle around and, possibly, lose my live feed for the x/c.

ETA – Just found out that Sam is 17. What an incredible achievement for him to go double clear.

LHU, Lauren Kieffer retired on Monte Carlo, Hannah Sue Burnett retired on Harbor Pilot after one stop (I was listening to the radio feed at this point and it sounded like a pilot error) and I believe I heard Katherine Coleman fell.

Here is the live results link. https://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/cross-country-results-2017/

Confused by the fall mark on the fence by fence analysis for the Irish guy.
