XC thread.

So happy for Nina!

I am so confused! Is it Mike Tucker or Ian Stark?? :confused::confused:[/QUOTE]

EN says via H&H that it is Ian Stark with Mike Tucker. I’ve only heard one commentator though.

I’m not sure “damn twizzel” is fair. For some reason the US seems to be cantering that bank when many other nations are trotting and allowing the horse to take a look in the approach. I dare say had Will trotted he likely wouldn’t have had that stop. The horse just needed a bit of time to look.

Sad to see the stop - was a lovely round otherwise.

Lucinda Frederiks has a refusal…

German horse Opgun Louvo. What a cool horse!

There are 2 commentators on the BBC feed that I am watching.

So not actually blaming twizzel. More of a damn for him.

On the NBC website, live online, there is only one announcer, a gentleman with a British accent, and he is OUTSTANDING.

That is the feed I am watching as well. He is fantastic, really knows the sport!

Already the Daily Mail (UK) has their (images) coverage of Zara and her family watching - a shame they picked one poor image to suggest anything but confidence. All I saw on course was a highly determined, solid rider and horse.

I believe I’m hearing Mike Tucker and Ian Stark.
Yes, sure of it now.

Opgun louvo looks like a challenge but what a magnificent horse! Just love him, attitude and all

Same here.

Ian Stark and Mike Tucker. Mike is doing most of the commentating but Ian provides lots of interesting bits about the riders and horses.

For those who can’t access through the computer, I finally gave up on getting the nbc coverage through my cable provider. Used my smartphone to get the app and with an HDMI cable, finally able to watch!

Exponential on now…

He does look like a handful, but I just loved him. Never seen him before.

Com’on Jessica!

I’m watching the NBC live feed and there is one commentator, who is great. “it’s a ding dong of a competition between Germany and Britain” he just said. :lol:

Who is this chap?

I have to leave my computer for an hour. When Brecciaroli goes, can someone please post what the NBC online timestamp is, so I can go back and find it? Thanks!

We don’t know!!
