Cross Country

A refusal for Selena at the Rolex water. What a bummer!

the announcer hasn’t had anyone in the booth that I have heard. Hasn’t had a moment off the mike. Doing a great job!

no my internet died

Everyone is reporting that Andreas Ostholt didn’t know why he was eliminated and went to investigate but nothing else

[QUOTE=NorCal10;7738797]
Has anything bad happened? Is everyone walking away?[/QUOTE]

Hate that this is a legitimate question we have to ask.

Clare Balding ?@clarebalding 5m
Andreas Ostholt just walked by “were you eliminated?” I asked. “Not any more” he said & smiled. He’s been
reinstated in 5th.

He’s back on the leader board, so it must have been an error of some sort. Glad they fixed it.

John Kyle giving excellent snark about not seeing Harry Meade’s round.

Whomever mentioned the announcer was Mark Kyle, that is incorrect. It is John Kyle, his brother. And john is making some very pointed comments asking why we are still watching the Spanish rider with 3 refusals when Harry Mead is still clear and could decide whether GB stays in silver medal position. They didn’t change the feed until Nereo came on course.

Sounds like a fall at the last fence.[/QUOTE]

No. He was pulled up because his horse was too tired. Two from home.

That was me. My mistake. He is giving excellent commentary.

Good job Harry!

He is also keeping much better track of the team totals than the notice that comes up on the screen!

Yes. All horses and riders have so far. One rider had a bad looking fall (horse was fine-- rider looked knocked out). But they haven’t said anything. Like I said , it’s been good to watch. Lots of good riding. Most issue have been glance offs. Falls haven’t been super scary so far.

:lol: The team standings on the live feed page have occasionally gone wonky- at one point recently it was showing that New Zealand was in first place as a team and the US was 2nd . . . that would be well after they were both eliminated as teams- oops
They fixed it of course but it did make me do a double take

Any video replays available yet?

And we’re streaking up the leaderboard!

Andrew Nicholson looked very slick on Nereo. Sandra jumping around very well right now.

WFP #1 !!

AN looks like he’s motoring around.

And WFP holds 1st.

NZ has nothing to be embarrassed about.
