Showjumping on Live on TV

Universal Sports is working again!

Presley Boy apparently purchased for $8.4M two months ago.

How many riders left to go?

What a ride from Kevin Staut!!!
France into 2nd.

Nicely done HICKSTEAD!

Hickstead clear!

Thanks for that link! :slight_smile:

Sapphire a little lackluster… 8 faults.

Yay Hickstead! Hey it turns out I get the Universal digital station in Canada woohoo…

GER
FRA
BEL
BRA
CAN

USA 10th

Germany - Gold
France - Silver
Belgium - Bronze

oh man!!
Poor Brasil… last one to go for Brasil catches the 2nd last rail, and Brasil drop out of medals. A clear and they would have got silver.
Tough luck.

I could watch Marcus Ehning ride all day long. Love that German style of riding… sit deep and ride the horse up into your hand… lovely stuff.

Kudos to Universal Sports Network (NBC) for showing it thru to the end and not cutting off the TV live coverage at 6:30 as originally scheduled.

Laura is through to the next round in 19th place, and McLain is through in 26th place. Seems clear that both are out of it for the final four though.

Thanks, Mickey! I’d been REALLY bummed if I didn’t see the nail-biting last of it. I think I liked those commentators better anyway… and apparently they’re broadcasting the Driving tomorrow, which Universal Sports is not.

Thanks!

thanks so much for that!
…since we don’t get NBC or Universal here in Canada… :frowning:
wish I’d have seen it /your post before the medal ceremony! :lol:

I lost the stream at 9:30’ish, too. I am still not back on – I heard the German National anthem and saw MM-B smile, then “content failed to load” again. Grrrrrrrr. How did Laura and McLean do?

What a disappointing night for our team. :frowning:
