Olympics 2024

Just want to say how much I love the the stained glass wall at fence 9. It’s just beautiful!

I think it’s depicting the Rose Window in Notre Dame. It’s my favorite one from these games!

After watching a couple I am very sad we don’t get to see Ilex! Thats the horse I would want to be sitting on for a course like this :flushed:

I just realized that! It’s early here…

And as much as I’d like the Irish to win, I’m rooting for Henrik and King Edward.

Both British riders getting same fence

My heart :broken_heart: So that means GB cannot complete their 100% medaling streak in equestrian.

Just catching up on this thread. Sounds like a bloodbath :sob:

Wish I could watch it live! I assume there’s streaming nothing online right?

I’m currently watching via Peacock but if you’re abroad you’ll probably need a VPN to access

Depending where you live. If you go to nbcolympics.com, and log in via your cable provider, you can watch.

Jon, you cursed her!!!

I don’t have cable :cry: or a VPN to use.

I’m in Switzerland - maybe I can find it on a local channel?

Commentary team here need to stop effectively saying these riders are gonna go clear when they come in as they immediately trip over the first fence.

That first fence is causing a lot of trouble. Horses not focused in on it?

Maybe it’s the riders not focusing on it and more worrying about the rest of the course!

And the commentary team saying how wonderfully they have been jumping too of course.

It’s going away from the ingate so horses will naturally be backed off, but I think the recent riders are approaching without enough impulsion.

Henrik next, followed by Steve.

Oh my god!!
