XC thread.

GO KOC and MrM! He looked SO fit and eager, but listened to her the whole time… so happy for them! “Fit as a Flea”… my new favorite saying :yes:

Sam G.eliminated.

Shrade’s horse is jumping well, but he looks slow at the jumps. TREMENDOUS TB-like ground covering stride, so he may make time.

Dirk Shrade for Germany perfect thru water - a really good looking pair

Bummer. I saw the slip and slide earlier. What happened and are they OK?

Sam G had a fall at fence 21

Ireland’s Master Crusoe is on course (by Cruising, needless to say!) Another Ann O’Grady started horse at the Olympics!! :slight_smile:

Irish rider Aoife (how do you pronounce?) on course.

Dirk clean as far as coffin so far so good for Germany here with this pair

Feeling a bit crushed over here. Wish they’d update us on how Sam and Happy Times are. That ground was against them from the start. But still. Devastating for Australia.

Oh well. Three riders to go.

@Retread- EE-fa I believe.

Here comes Gin & Juice!

Boyd replay! Yay!

Gin and Juice on course.

I am also surprised that Karen had time faults. But the announcer (who I like a lot!) commented that she was “just cruising” toward the end. That is what it looked like from the aerial shot of them.

Perhaps she felt confident that they were within the time allowed and gave him a breather so she had plenty of horse to finish on?

Both Americans coming home with 4 - 5 time penalties is looking pretty good. How are the other countries who have 2 horses to finish doing?

Dirk Shrade had 10.8 time faults - it’s going to be a SJ contest :wink:

What happened to Hawley and Ginny???

Darn ,a fall for Hawley…

The coverage itself is great! Nice long shots of most of the fences with the whole rider in the screen. And I’m digging the areial shot.

Good for you, NBC.
