thanks R-n-G! I wasn’t 100% sure but thought so.
You first! Oh re-the-hell-lax, is one not allowed to state an opinion. Didn’t make a judgement about the riding etc. Get over yourself.
True. Very unfortunate, as Poggio can be rather brilliant when the pair has a good day.
Yay for the Polish rider! I noticed him in dressage and thought he was great. I will rout for him! 
Ok, so I missed not only the initial fall but some replays? Gah. Commercial #5 gives me time to talk to you guys. Ugh.
Oh I am SO frustrated, have restarted the durn thing several times and get nothing but buffering 0%! I cannot understadn this I downloaded the plugin etc, anyone else have this problem and resolve it? I never could watch last night either!

No, but I think the situation is that sitting here while all of us are on the edge of our seats for our eventers, and making a snark at someone who’s worked long and hard to qualify, is kind of a briar in our breeches. A lot of us here have personal ties to these riders and horses, so it’s like making a snark against our family.
I’m so glad you guys are posting the play by play. I can’t use SilverLight on my Mac, so you guys are like my “live feed”. Thanks, COTH-ers! <3
nice save for daisy dick
No commericals for me, either. Watching gymnastics on TV which has commercials every time I look up.
Just a quick question - what is with all the whistles? What do they mean?
Has anyone found a link that lists everyone’s final penalties? I found what I thought was that link - but it isn’t updating - I’m having a hard time keeping track of everyone.
Does anyone know if they are using frangible pins on applicable jumps?
No commercials here either, thank God.
Has anyone gone double clear yet? I’m starting to wonder if this ideal time is even realistic… This is a very twisty and technical course with few stretches to make up time galloping…
whistles would be for crowd control - to let people know a horse is approaching

try this

the people running the course blow the whistles to warn onlookers to stop crossing the course because a horse is coming. 
Thanks so much R-N-G!
Sorry if this has been asked already… I don’t dare take my eyes of the live feed long enough to look…
Is the order of go posted somewhere? I caught Amy and want to make sure I catch the other US riders too.
CZE horse looks a little cranky.
Cool ariel shots
who was eliminated for missing the fence?
