Rio 2016 was kind of more challenging than London 2012 though, which had a lot of riders just outside of the optimum time. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerSaxony 205 Posted August 31, 2019 #64 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Okay agree, then the limit really seems to be too low. However, I'd prefer limits which can be achieved by a couple of pairs rather than the Beijing or Badminton courses. Real quick horses shouldn't be pushed that hard only to gain another second, imo.

Yeah, but tight time doesn't equal pushing quick horses. Masterful riders achieve time by being extremely efficient and by tackling obstacles in the same, consistent rhytm. That's why someone like Christopher Burton can go inside the time with any given horse, and on any given course. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted August 31, 2019 #66 Share Posted August 31, 2019 After cross-country... Individual Jung (fischerChipmunk) - 20.90 Klimke (SAP Hale Bob) - 22.20 Thibaut Vallette (Qing du Briot) - 25.80 Tim Lips (Bayro) - 26.00 Oliver Townend (Cooley Master Class) - 27.60 I wonder if Klimke can become the first rider since 2001 to defend ECh title on the same horse? Chipmunk is really not that great in show jumping... Team 78.50 92.80 93.60 99.20 101.10 103.30 146.60 164.10 1137.30 2026.00 2038.20 2052.70 Quotas are probably decided, barring any drama at the horse inspection. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted September 1, 2019 #68 Share Posted September 1, 2019 For some reason they are using European Union fence. Maybe an attempt to trigger the British team. AlFHg, phelps, Gianlu33 and 1 other 1 3 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted September 1, 2019 #69 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Clear round, followed by another clear round, and another clear round... This event will be a glorified dressage competition. And, trust me, eventing dressage is really not worth that. Definitely not the 4* dressage that we witnessed here. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
