Let's go Australia, Olympics thread

[Elder van Berlo]

One rider left. It's New Zealand's to lose.

1. New Zealand 162.8
2. Australia 167.3
3. France 169.0
4. Germany 172.8

Apart from the 4 fences, Stuart Tinney's 1 second time penalty is looking really costly at the moment. Means the NZ rider can afford to knock over a fence and will still be in front of us if there are no time penalties.

Yes. Sam Griffiths clear. 2nd place individually

Still a gold medal chance!

 

[ams4crows]

This losing to new Zealand is not acceptable!

It's funny how you become expert judges of obscure sports during the Olympics.

Equestrian is one, diving and gymnastics as well. I reckon by the time the 10m diving final comes round I can pretty pick the fault in every dive.

 

[ams4crows]

Me in my living room on the couch: Knees were too far apart and there was a slight over rotation in the pike potion resulting in the entry position being off Centre a clear .3 deduction there.

 

[ams4crows]

Did you hear an American male gymnast got a deduction because he said to the judges before his routine 'watch this, mother****ers'

That deserves a bonus point if anything.

Imagine trying to jump fences if you're Parro

I guess that's why he knocked 3 poles over.

 

[hey shorty]

Tense stuff this

 

[JP Sauce]

Todd has ****ed it!

 

[hey shorty]

Kiwi knocks a few over

..........

SHIIIIIIIIIITEEEEE

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Clear run = gold.

1 fence = silver.

2 fences = bronze.

Any more than that - nothing.

 

[JP Sauce]

Come on Birdman!

[hey shorty]

2 rails.....

Good try. Loved hearing Vicki Roycroft take a deep breath every fence

 

[GreyCrow]

EVB knew it before the actual commentators that we had Bronze

 

[Elder van Berlo]

FFS I don't understand this sport and I can do the maths. How are the commentators this clueless?

 

[hey shorty]

Bronze Medal.

Burton going for an individual medal tonight

 

[adelaidecrows]

What a crock of shit.

They're too busy getting mad at the horses.

 

[hey shorty]

What a crock of shit.

First major elite competition for the bloke and his horse, fantastic effort.

 

[ams4crows]

Gotta be disappointed with dropping 2 places, Australia have always been far and away the best at cross country and utter shit a show jumping just makes 96 even more amazing.

Yeah I know. Was a really good result for such a green horse.
