Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

Are there any indications about how tough the course will be?

Word is that it will be the toughest Olympic cross-country trail since Sydney 2000. It's very techinical and twisty so time will be very hard to make (if not impossible), there is also a lot of varying terrain apparently.

 

Hopefully we'll have an amazing XC day. :)

I guess that's why there were some surprise inclusions in our team. Hopefully the tougher course can help us but you never know.

Two hours to go. Let's hope noone fails.

As now we come across the world
To share these Games of old
Let all the flags of every land
In brotherhood unfold

The ski jump fence disappoints me, but the Bamboo Keyhole looks awesome :d 

 

The Knowledge Bridge looks like a replica of the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam :p

Unfortunately I won't be able to follow the horse inspection (and the first part of archery).

 

Updates from inspection will be available on twitter here. We also have start list for inspection. Starts in some 30 minutes.

Is that just a matter of checking they're healthy?
