Someone mentioned jump off earlier - do they get medals by time or are the clears jumping off?

All 3 clears jump off for medals.

Was the guy who fell off at the water jump today the only person who has fallen off in the show jumping all week? I have not been able to watch all the rounds, but he’s the only one I remember.

If so, that is certainly better than a lot of other Olympics.

That’s right. That was a crazy one!

I can just imagine that conversation for the rest of his life.

“Which jump did you fall off at in the Olympics?” “Well, actually
”

I want to watch the replay to see what was happening. It happened so fast.

Looked like a miscommunication on which direction they were turning. Definitely going back to watch again.

Without watching the replay to confirm it, it looked like the horse made such a big effort over the previous few jumps that the rider was a bit off balance, so when they had a little miscommunication about which way to turn, and the horse ended up with the timer in his path, the rider just could not stick with him. That was crazy.

I mean, it would be crazy enough to see it happen to a kid on a pony jumper, never mind one of the best riders in the world at the Olympics.

Christian clear and fast! 38.34

Maikel 4 faults 39.12

If you are watching on Peacock you can scroll back and watch it. I did between riders after it happened. That way you won’t have to wait for the replay to be ready.
