Official Tokyo Olympic Eventing Thread

Sorry if I missed it earlier - what happened to Lauren Billys?

IIRC she had a couple of stops and then pulled up?

ETA: I must be wrong because she’s listed as eliminated, not retired. I don’t think they showed all the stops. I think her final stop might have been a glance-off at the coffin?

Show Boyd!!!

It was mentioned earlier, but I saw that rider from Poland lose her red right stirrup and the announcers never noticed!

I can only imagine how hard they worked to qualify but perhaps they were not ready for this level. Hopefully next Olympics.

And darn it, where’s Boyd?

He really did look very surprised and confused, like, “What are you doing down there, silly human?”
