Takayuki Yumira and Latina's fall on XC

[Whistler]

Purposely not reading anything else on the site because I had to stop watching halfway this morning in order to get to work - so no spoilers please :lol: Tivo’d the rest for this evening!

I was concerned with the bad looking fall that the Japanese rider had where the horse stumbled hard and rolled after catching a dangling front leg pretty hard on a fence. He was clearly lame after scrambling up and they pulled the curtain on the vet tent. Just felt a little ill because I hope nothing serious happened. Anyone know? Is it just normal protocol for the vets to use the tent?

I don’t know the final outcome, but as someone else pointed out, it seems they’ve been putting up the tarp for almost every fall, so here’s hoping it was minor and all is well.

The tarp DID go up after almost every fall.

Thanks guys, that’s good to know.

The tarp is used for any fall where horse or rider require medical attention, regardless of severity of injury - it keeps out prying eyes and cameras and offers the rider some privacy.

Any word on the horse?

It did look fairly concerning as he hobbled. Hoping for the best . . .

All the other falls seemed mild for horse and rider. Can anyone confirm?
