Courtney did really well! She should be proud of herself in her Olympic debut!
Gotta love the kiss!

And probably we don’t see the German Judge back during the Freestyle to Music. He placed Courtney #13 ?!

I guess that explains why her score was lower than I expecting!
agh, it’s all too much - I MUST go make a cuppa tea… someone PLEASE fill me in on Kyra K and Anky’s rides???
Both americans had one judge give them significantly lower scores. Kind of odd. Hmm, the first three, I should say.

Yes, I thought her ride was at least as good as Steffen’s, and probably better. I guess two of the judges agreed, but :eek: that is quite a discrepancy from the judge at E!
In Steffen’s and Courtney’s rides…both horses seemed so mentally relaxed.
Beautiful ride Steffen ! Such attention to the smallest details.
And Courtney - so cool and elegant on a stunning horse. He looked just like his dad a few times…

Sjeesh. I was wondering about the score. I have not seen the rest (got up late). But that is irritating.
67.400 (13) 71.400 (3) 71.800 (1) 72.800 (1) 70.600 (5)
How do these riders not get completely frustrated with the politics… Good for them to keep going:mad:
Ugh. Thank you German judge.
Kyra’s horse looked PISSED during the whole ride.
I do wish the stands were more filled…
Kyra is one classy lady.
Kyra just said she messed up the extended trot trying to keep him straight. He was shocked by too much contact. She’s so cool.
If the next rider doesn’t go pass Steffen he’s going to get at least the bronze…So was Courtney robbed… Seriously placed 14th when two judges had her in first, one in thrid and one in 5th…
Agreed - very classy of her to take responsibility for an error rather than blaming her horse.

Yes. 
Does anyone else find the orange trim on Anky’s coat a bit over the top? And to be fair, I’d feel that way if an American rode in with the old stars & stripes sewn into their collar, too.

Except this isn’t the medal round. The top 15 have Freestyle to combine with these scores.
Oh, that last sidepass of anky’s wasn’t there at all. Gotta wonder how that was scored.

I love it but have been used to it from the jumper world…
