Nice job Mr. Lamaze!
4 rounds with no rails or time penalties for Eric’s awesome mare!!!
[QUOTE=omare;8805630]
if it is the top twenty that come back are the 4 faulters separated by time?[/QUOTE]
They just said all are coming back so 27 combos coming back as they are all ranked top 20.
Woot, Eric Lamaze!!
27 riders are coming back unless some decide to rest their horses and not go again!
Whoosh Canada! Go Eric!
it seems really awful that all these clears don’t get a medal. They don’t do ribbons thru 10 or 15 do they?
what happened with Fibonacci? i missed it.
Wow Eric! Woot! OK, 1.5 hours of productive work. Until we meet again…
How quickly do they start again?

Per the round by round coverage
10:13 a.m. Oh gosh! Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum and Fibonacci have entered the ring, and they gallop right through the first vertical! That was a very rare miscue from Michaels-Beerbaum; the mare leaves early and can’t get across, and the entire jump comes down. After the second fence, Michaels-Beerbaum elects to retire. That’s a shame. They had really jumped well all week, and their clear jump-off round on Thursday helped Germany clinch the bronze medal over Canada.

So we will be back at 12:30 ET, right?

He’s smiling in horsey heaven, may he RIP!
And now I’m really sad, can’t believe it will be FIVE years this November (on my birthday NO LESS) since he passed away

That does tell what happened, except jump 1 was an oxer (which may or may not have made a difference in clearing it with the miscommunication) and Fibonacci is a gelding (which did not have anything to do with the mistake :lol:)
