Still on for gold for us.

Looking good! Third Dutch rider not clear either.

 

[Merlin5]

So now it's either speed or a clear round.

[Russinating]

GOOOOLLLDDD!

Omg that was pretty tense.

 

[Merlin5]

Lol

That was amazing. In both tennis and equestrian, GB have got gold after waiting more than 60 years.

Nick Skelton?! Haven't watched show jumping since I was a wee nipper (quite some time ago) and he's still jumping and a gold no less!

Yep. I thought I was too old now to be an olympic athlete but Skelton is 54, and one of the jumpers from another country is 63!

71 (or 73?), I think a Japanese rider.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Yeah there was a Japanese fella in the Dressage who competed at the 1964 games in Tokyo!

This chap

There's hope for us all yet. Now to get rid of this beer belly.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Amazing result

i (usually) can't stand equestrian stuff but i watched this whilst eating my tea and it was great. i was cringing on every jump!

 

[Irish_Tom]

We're top in the team dressage going into the final round tomorrow so it could be another gold for Team GB!

Then there's the individual show jumping and individual dressage (which we're also currently top in).

The next few days could see a huge haul for Team GB's equestrian team.

 

[Cosimo]

One round to go and we have extended our lead. Fingers crossed.
