Show Jumping Individual Finals on Fri., 8/19

[QUOTE=SolarFlare;8805436]
Tiffany and Tripple X have 4 faults at the last fence. Also a very weird leg-dropping sort-of swim through the big oxer before the last line, but pulled through that one clear.[/QUOTE]

I thought her ride between the water and the vertical was beautiful.

How do they decide who is coming back for Round B? Is the jump-off after Round B?

top 20 return I think (as the commentators just said!)

Last rail! Aargh. First American after the break?

Top 20 return, announcer just said on livestream (NBC)

Ah yes, thanks! Is that a speed round?

Ah bummer, last rail down for Tiffany and Tripple X :frowning:

Still, a great ride!

I am so nervous for Lucy! I think she is well-mounted enough and has proven herself to be a cool cucumber under pressure… She’s a contender for sure.

I am so going to miss Jon and Steve. They have me totally spoiled. Who hired them? The FEI?

Lucy is Loosey Goosey!! :smiley: LMAO!!

Some great photos from the jog: http://www.noellefloyd.com/photos-final-jog-show-jumping-rio-olympic-games/ (Judging by this, I don’t think that extra round of jumping took much out of Tripple X.)

At the very least, I’m pleased to hear positive comments about the footing in each of the equestrian sports here. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a bit worried about it before the Games.

And finally, the stands are pretty full!

I’m so glad I have you guys with the running commentary for me! I can’t get the app on my phone to watch and I’m working at the barn all day so I just keep reloading this thread for my updates!!! Can’t wait for USA!!

I feel so nervous for Lucy, yet I also feel so confident about her. AHHHHH!

Oh no, in the water?!

:no:

Lucy finishes with 12. Barron wasn’t into the water today.

Poor Lucy! Looks like the nerves are coming through a bit. :frowning:

Poor Lucy and Barron :frowning:
