Olympic Team Show Jumping Concludes Wednesday, August 17

As much as I wanted Canada to win, Germany were the stronger team. Congratulations to them.

Who is jumping off for bronze, and has gold and silver already been decided? I am at work and incredibly busy, so just able to sneak an occasional peak, its so frustrating![/QUOTE]

Germany just won the bronze in the jump-off, all three of their riders rode clear. France won gold, USA silver.

Definitely the deserving medalists, congratulations indeed.

I loved watching the French groom let the handsome gray horse just graze with his bridle on. Well-deserved!

Eric should get an award for ALL clear rounds![/QUOTE]

let’s hope it continues in the individual competition!

Wow what a great day of jumping! So intense! I can’t wait to watch the individual finals :yes:

Will Beezie get a medal where she didn’t jump today? Or is she considered withdrawn from the competition?

Yes, I was noting what a wild-man that stallion was being, too!

She’ll get a medal because she’s part of the team regardless

Guessing yes, she helped get them qualified for the Final.

Friday is going to be AMAZING!! :smiley: Happily, we finish at work at noon, so I’ll be able to focus my attention completely on the second round. :slight_smile:

SWI is the only team with all 4 riders qualified for indiv final.
Sad for the one that isn’t chosen to ride especially since all 4 have 9 faults.

I remember back in Barcelona when they chiseled out on a medal for the fourth Dutch rider because he turned out to be the drop score in both rounds. Perhaps it is a blessing that Jur Vrieling does not run that risk today. It was cringe-worthy.

What horse did Beezie come in on for the medal ceremony?

she walked!

She didn’t, she’s on foot.

Beezie walked out, but was Lucy on a different horse?

Thanks, I wasn’t watching when they came in, but sort of thought there were 4 American horses milling about, but guess not!

I love looking at the German team on the podium. Three tall men and…MMB! :slight_smile:
