Individual Showjumping- Spoilers to come

Poor Ninja. There goes his warm-up plan.

Bengtsson has gone back to the warm up ring… looks like it might take a little while to deal with the levee burst on the Liverpool… call in the army corp of engineers.

They are efficient workers! Getting it cleaned up pretty fast!

Way cool, during the delay I’m watching Mr. Hickstead walk over rails, and the stunning Cumano walking in the warm up ring

CRAP ITS RAINING

Premature e-jockey-lation?

Ack…this is driving me crazy…TWO computers at work and NEITHER one will allow me to watch the live videos…I’m sitting here going all :eek: :eek:

That must be so nerve wracking to go in the ring and ready to go, then be sent back out. He’ll probably have to do more warmup.

Anyways, I hope this is over by 12, I have to leave for my own jumping lesson!

Is it raining now?

i love the guys in the blue jackets “supervising”:lol:[/QUOTE]

yeah… too funny…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “flood” on a jump course before… of course I’ve seen lots of liverpools that don’t look filled… maybe it is to prevent this sort of thing :lol:

ok here we goooooo…plus a little rain!

OMG now the entire audience is wearing clear plastic bags as rain gear…horse+wind+plastic -gold medal :frowning:

Oops, and now rain.

It appears the repairs are complete. Time to get back to jumping.

So to recap, there are 7 riders sitting on 4 faults, and technically in the lead at the moment…
BEERBAUM Ludger ALL INCLUSIVE
MICHAELS-BEERBAUM Meredith SHUTTERFLY
PESSOA Rodrigo RUFUS
WARD Mclain SAPPHIRE
HOORN Angelique O’BRIEN
MADDEN Beezie AUTHENTIC
HOUTZAGER Marc OPIUM

There are 4 left to jump, who if they go double clear will be in the medal spots.

Bengstsson
Maher
Lansink
Lamaze

Eeep here comes the typhoon!

Out come the thousands of rain slickers!

Yup, Typhoon’s arriving. Starting to pour. (Must have been the liverpool that started it)

And it’s now raining. Hard. It will take an amazing horse to go double clear.

Yup, that’s rain.

Just in FYI for anyone who cares - US women’s soccer just scored a goal in overtime vs Brazil (Gold medal game!) 1-0 US with 9 minutes left in extended time. GO LADIES! :smiley:
