Olympic Live Stream Discussion Thread - It's On!

the safety of our sport is at play here…do the riders suck it up and keep going or say…this isn’t safe?

This is making me ill. I’m going to be holding my breath for every ride from here on out. I’m all for xc shaking up standings but this is insane

Anyone ever seen this many slips and falls? I was not expecting this. Generally you don’t worry much between fences.

I thought the run out at the water for the German was coming. I could see it as she landed, she just didn’t have the line. I didn’t think the line looked that off when I looked at pictures and course walk video, but I guess it is just riding tricky.

Was there more than one fall between fences?

Wow, this course is proving to be quite the challenge. So many unfortunate mistakes.

The Swedish horse is scopey.

I think the small TBS will be having the easier time on this course…

That table and gate combo… :no:

yeah that gate rides ugly…

Boyd on course

arrrgh
guide says xc, tv shows table tennis instead-missing it!!!

How odd to see camouflaged soldiers, armed, on course.

boyd and blackfoot out!

very close call with Opgun… he’s definitely used his 5th leg a few times this course. incredible horse.

Good luck Boyd!!!

Opgun is scary to watch- brave yes, brakes no.

It’s about to come on live on USA network!!!

Another run out for Germany…

How was Boyd???

Lots of slips, one slip and fall would be more accurate. Still odd to me.
