XC thread.

Wooooooooooooot Zara! Wow, what a ride!

Zara was super! Gutsy, brilliant riding.

Well done Zara!!

Fantastic ride from Zara – talk about riding under a microscope and pressure – kudos to her for absolutely rocking it today!!

Watching this makes me really wish I had the nerve to be an eventer :lol:

What a great day for the ladies so far, Zara, Mary, Ingrid, KOC all doing so well x-country, maybe this is the year that a lady wins individual gold at the OG?

Me too! I’ve got multiple windows up that are strategically placed on my screens…

Really proud of US team. I haven’t gotten to watch, unfortunately 16 horses are always calling my name…but for us to have so little opportunity to go at big courses, and just the one four star, we are sure showing how to ride xc right now! GOOD FOR THEM!!!

The Tim Ryan of “nbc bio” is not the guy doing commentary on the live stream feed.

Lenamore: 19. Yep. http://www.horseandrideruk.com/article.php?id=2145

While looking that up I got this link, so just for fun:

Wow! The Swede took 1st place, beating Ingrid klimke!

Watching the queen’s grandaughter gallop through Greenwich Park while competing in the Olympic Games is simply fabulous. The aerial shots were breathtaking.

Surely Zara’s ride will be in history books generations from now.

Way to go SWEDEN!

Does anyone else want to strangle the NBC commentators?!

No??? Well, who is it then?? He is spectacular! :confused::confused:

Watch online. Better commentator. I have my laptop plugged into the big screen. Works great!

I guess that should not surprise us, the TR who does the tennis for NBC is not very good. :lol: :smiley: But I was hoping he had magically turned into an expert equestrian commentator.

Well done, a fabulous ride on a superb horse!
