Show Jumping

They are eliminated. The remaining two can jump but it is rather pointless to do so unless they need the experience. Any team with only two riders left is placed behind all the teams with three riders completing.

I donā€™t see it. I donā€™t see any advertising either.

I thought that the number in the green bubble was the number of pairs who have jumped the fence clean, and the red was the number of pairs who pulled a rail thereā€¦ But I canā€™t for the life of me figure out what the yellow bubble is.

Ok, which one of you has the magic power to make the ads go away?
Thank you!

maybe the yellow is for a rub?

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m thinking too. That ticker isnā€™t up on the screen consistently enough for me to really keep track. I do appreciate that we have the live stream, but to me it looks like NBC needs more practice in broadcasting equestrian events. I would like to see the horse and riderā€˜s name on the screen the entire round, and consistent usage of the other features on the screen. Clearly, the solution is for them to broadcast more high profile events, so they can get better at it. :slight_smile:

Does anyone else find the Jumbotron showing highlights from other sports irritating? I know there arenā€™t any horses in the arena, but all the screaming has to be audible. I know it spooked me from the other room!

Look here;

Horse heads green for still in, red for messed up, number of riders. Open the + for rider scores. Rider order as listed. Start order 2nd from left. So Team at #11 Penelope Leprevost will be next. Then 2nd rider on team at #12.

Iā€™ve noticed that the U.S. tends to be more squeamish about replays than are other countries.

A reluctance to face reality? I donā€™t know.

Good god theyā€™re piping that crowd noise in during the drag break again. I know it is supposed to sound as if people are cheering but it sounds to me as if people are being murdered. :grimacing:

Takes the pressure off a little bit when 4 teams are already eliminated.

I am thrilled that I can watch the Equestrian events without interruption.
No complaints here.

So the green dot went from 20 to 22 then to 21 after she cleared 2 fences.

Im at a loss

Whatever Sweden is doing is clearly working!

Letā€™s go Jessie!!!

I donā€™t find anything entertaining about watching horses crash and fall down. And I donā€™t think it benefits the sport to have that be the replay moment on live TV.

On the other hand, videos of children bouncing off the side of small ponies- provided the video was posted by the child in question and the kid was laughing too- hilarious.

Iā€™m very impressed with the Swedish team. What a lot of consistently nice rides.

Here it changes per fence. So if on fence 3 20 riders went clear is will show green 20 then switches to the next fence. Red is poles down heck if I know what the yellow is for. Itā€™s very necessary. Iā€™m watching on euro sportā€¦ we also donā€™t get the names through the rounds.

With todayā€™s course, I think one down is perfectly acceptable. Way to go Jessica Springsteen!

Oh wow ok I get it now! Thanks!

Only took 3 people to explain it to me :joy:

I donā€™t think itā€™s a matter of entertainment (for horsey people anyway) but more an interest in knowing what went wrong.
