Well, boo. I was happily listening on my tablet at work and my 4G suddenly stopped working. Bloody verizon. I guess I will have to try and watch it later.
I’m so glad for all the commentary. For some reasone despite Adobe Flash update and Google Chrome I still cannot access live feed…keep it coming!!
Did anyone catch how old they said the swede on course is? He looks very young.

I think they already went, and have a ton of faults.[/QUOTE]
No, the leader in dressage (Yoshi something, on Noonday de Condé) goes toward the end, along with a bunch of stars (Mark Todd etc)
Bollocks, Mary King = 1st with Chris Burton.
I mean good on her, but as a disgruntled Aussie … bollocks. Hoy up soon!
When a rider at this level has to pause on course, as Mary King did, is that something that may affect their time? Make it harder to get back to cruising speed since they’ve had to pull up from being at a good lick?
The Japanese riderleadingafter dressage is #70. Won’t go for a while yet.
I have no access to results at all here at work, can someone tell me how Zabala fared?

Okay, sorry. There is another Japanese horse with a similar name.
Yoshiaki Oiwa is the rider–he goes 4th from last.
Well it’s terrific, and someone deserves a raise.
(round of applause)
I cant watch MSNBC or anything connected to youtube at work. Any suggestions where I can go to watch?

No, they are allowed to get back up to speed before the clock starts again as they gallop by. So it should not affect their time too much, as long as they don’t slow down too much as they pass the flaggers…

21 I believe.
He is number 70 - they are riding in the same order as in Dressage, so he is in the last group.

So glad the iPad app is working today, and the commentary really is fantastic, whoever he is! Boyd’s ride was impressive, and KOC and Mary King have to be sooo fit to have such masterful rides on such strong horses! This is not helping my productivity this morning but it sure is fun to watch
Hope the Japanese mare, Latina, isn’t severely injured - she was really quite lovely.
Ludvig Stennesvald from Sweden takes the lead!
Excellent ride from the young Swede!
