Good Morning … anyone up and about ?
Trying to get the streaming working but can’t. Really wanted to see Tina!
All i’m getting is a message: “Invalid parameters.” Does anyone else have that, or is it me?
Calecto is a nice horse, but I can’t believe an 80% horse! Scored 70.486%.
Tina - 70.486
It’s working for me, though I only caught the end of Tina’s ride as she was saluting.
Here is the NBC viewing link: http://www.nbcolympics.com/liveextra/video-watch.html?video=dressage-1st-team-competition-day-2

Bummer I missed it. Still trying to make my iPad work. It worked great yesterday!!!
I’m watching! have seen them do better,(Tina and Calecto) seems like nerves played a part in that one…
This is a nicer test, Tinne and Don Auriello. This horse will be getting some good scores in a few years!
I"m up! Watching on bbc via expat shield. Loved Tina’s ride. Just a bit of loss of rhythm and unsteadiness, otherwise lovely.
Hmmm …thought Don Auriello did better than a 74.
Really like that horse.
Morning to all you dedicated people in N America! Tina had a lovely ride and it was a pleasure to see once again how much joy she gets from this horse. Overall the scores have been on the low side so far, in the context of recent international competitions. That’s not necessarily a bad thing… will be interesting to see if the trend is carried through the rest of today. I am simply loving the fact that we have a REAL competition this time!
Ah, there you are! MORNING!
I downloaded ExPat last night and got everything set up. This morning? NO SOUND.
Back to slow NBC feed.
Eremo is doing the most impressive test of the morning so far (to me). They are a good partnership and that is a talented horse.
BUT… whhhyyyy would you take a baby to grand prix dressage??? :eek: It seems to have been a feature of all the events at Greenwich so far to have a screaming child in the stands.
that’s odd. I’ve got sound on mine. Wait for the break and try again? make sure all your browser windows are closed before you start up the shield.
Good evening from Oz 
Weather looks good for today. Still sad for our Canadian rider who was eliminated yesterday. 
Lucinda Green needs to shut up a little bit. Think she’s steadly talked through 3 riders and not taken a break yet. 
Liked her for eventing but some of her comments and gossip that she says.
Called Tina " that circus rider girl" in a somewhat negative way. And figured these will be the last games we will see top hats and everyone will be wearing crash helmets “which look really big and crappy” ( not quite those words but weren’t favorable).
P.
It’s nice to not have commentary, though the screaming child was distracting, as was the squeaking during that last ride.
Well after reading Polydor’s post…maybe Ill stick with blessed silence. An eventer? Really? Lucinda is an Icon, surely, but …?

Flash forward 28 years…the gold medal winning rider says “I owe it all to my mother who brought me to my very first Olympics when it was in London. I had no idea what I was watching of course, but she wanted me to see the pretty horses. I’m so glad she did.”
That’s going to come out at some point !! lol.
Same commetator from yesterday, Judy something or other, FEI judge and GP rider.
