Show Jumping!

I can’t wait to watch NBC Sports Network coverage tonight. What a baptism by fire for our two rookies, having to jump off for gold in their first championship. They were amazing, never more than one rail and clear rounds for each. Laura and McLain do what we always count on them for, they go clear and fast when it’s needed most and everyone on our team really earned their gold medal!

i never would have expected the Swedes to be the Ones in contention for gold.

That was a surprise wasn’t it? Good for them!

Actually no. Our SJ team has been excellent — very competitive for a decade.

It’s even more frustrating when you already pay for FEI TV but had pay an additional $30 to get the games. They should of at least given the regular customers a break in some way.

you didn’t have to. There was something to click, which I did, and I got it for free. I had to contact them, several days before the whole thing started. It did work and didn’t cost any more. It LOOKED like it was a charge, but there wasn’t. I didn’t want to renew this year, but it was an automatic renewal and I had no knowledge of it till it was too late to cancel. Glad I stayed though. I was glued to it for the eventing. And see, the eventing xc started an hour early. NBC couldn’t change programming quickly enough so it started an hour into the rides. Thank goodness I had FEI. I would be frantic and furious, but I am sure they had no idea it would run into overtime. I am sure they will hear from everyone about this, rest assured.

Thanks! Your effort was very much appreciated. I know it’s difficult to type and watch.

Both Laura and McClain made incredible turns into the penultimate fence, at speed! I was almost afraid to watch. Well done all!

No replay up yet on FEI TV but NBC Sports Olympic Channel app has a clip of the US rides in the JO (starts Laura’s Round 3 instead of JO, the rest are right). MWs JO was magical as was the crowd response.

Ugh. FEI TV replay is up. And it cuts out at what was 5pm.

On my guide it’s showing that we’ll have replays at 10pm (Eastern time) tonight on the Olympic Channel.

ETA: It’s para competition at 10. Jumpers at 11:30pm.

Well Dayam. My tech savy 20 yo couldn’t figure this out. They sure didn’t make it easy for you or say, you were already subscribed. Just took your money

The Chronicle has McLain Ward’s round (part of it anyway) in its article.

My SO had a GREAT time making fun of me for not having cable. Grrrr :slight_smile:

Not the best, but it’s something…

Is there a replay of the entire jumpoff somewhere and I can’t find it? I’ve seen all of Mclain, Henrik, Malin, and Devin’s rounds, but not anyone else’s.

There are a few short ones. I just googled 2018 weg jumping jump off and it come up with a few. Nothing start to finish, but bits and pieces of all our riders.

If you have cable or satellite NBCSports has a recap at 10:30 central. 1.5 hr recap so not everything but all the important stuff. On Dish It’s channel 159.

Well, that was fun. :yes:

Supershorty , I hope you were able to see it.
