Yes, quite often. There was one at Athens I think.
everyone’s stomach in knots yet?
my cable was out so I just got online literally as Beezie stepping into the ring, I am not prepared for this stress!

Well I’m not sure I need to get on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes today - my heart rate has been up enough as it is! GO USA! 
McLain up first!
Here’s a link to what appear to be the overall individual standings to date. One could use that to determine how far down the list they’ll go beyond #35 (or 33T), but I am too on edge right now.
Individual Standings
Here we go! This is the absolute best!
GOD I love that mare!
Ok, so here are my questions…
Jump off – does time count as in a normal jump off? Or is time just a tie-breaker? As in, if we all have the same # of faults then the fastest time wins?
Yes, as I mentioned before, we jumped off with Switzerland I believe for silver in Athens. They conceded as they new they couldn’t catch our time.
Nice trip!
THank goodness the water isn’t in there.
I assume this is like a regular jump-off, only there are three scores added together. Lowest faults trumps fastest time. However, if they have same faults then they look at time.
Too bad about that wall for Jill. This is so exciting!
US looking good…
I think it is the same as a regular Nations Cup. Combination of faults and time.
Cedric has grown up so much in this short time.
did mclain just lose 1st place to the last rider?
Wow. Hickstead is such a nice horse (I think I say that every time!).
All of these riders are really amazing.

It’s team, not individual.
