I’m trying to view the video link and it says “we’re experiencing technical difficulties”. Anyone else having issues with it?[/QUOTE]

Does Fiona Bigwood have an eye injury?
Fiona’s test was pretty solid, but had some mistakes. I don’t know I like the music–she was clearly off it a lot of the test.

I thought Allison was good but not outstanding. Pretty much like the rest except Steffan.

A recent article talked about how she had a fall not too long ago and has double vision as a result of it.

You can see the BBC link here. Don’t click on anything. Just click off the x’s and open to the big screen and you will be able to see.
There was heavy criticism of the London 2012 live feed presentation of the Freestyles, regarding the commentators speaking all through and over the accompanying music.
Viewers asked if they could please just shut up until the ride was over. Could that be why there’s less commentary today? Or is it missing altogether, even in between tests?
Fiona was injured in a riding accident. She is delaying surgery until Olympics are over. She says she’s used to it and it doesn’t effect her riding.
Fiona Bigwood scored 76.018 and sitting in 4th.
There are no commentators, either before, during, or after. I think it’s nice. I get tired of them pointing out all the mistakes. It’s too negative.
Iäm not familiar with Fiona Bigwoodäs riding style or Otilia - it seemed like the curb rein was pretty much hanging loose for a lot of the ride. Is that normal for her?

Patrick Kittel had music I really liked. Generally a really nice test, but really weak in piaffe every time, and made a clear mistake in the one’s, though he had two lines. I find his leaning his body side to side in the changes very distracting.

BBC has minimal and very tactful commentary.
CBC commentary seems to be just the actual live commentary we can hear in the background.
I am astounded by CBC’s excellent coverage of all the equestrian events so far.
IF you are in the U.S. (at least, works for me)

Irish girl with 60’s music, starting with the Beatles. Cool.
Poor Fiona! But as they say - “The show must go on!”
