They grow them big in your part of the world

Wow, I am 179 cm and as of this morning I am 70.5kg. But you are a giant next to me and still lighter I am about my ideal body weight but still, in the next month I will probably try to lose a couple of kgs, because Christmas is around the corner and I will eat EVERYTHING

And neck a whole bottle of wine when Diniz gets DQ'd or retires

A drink for every super slow-mo showing the feet "lifting" and another for the commentators pointing out that the rule is "lifting must be visible to the naked eye in order to be penalised".

Timo Boll In the final again! What an athlete! Great match, hard luck to Franziska. -
has never missed the Open contest so let's hope they will make it to the USA for this edition

Murphy's Law sounds more Irish don't you think?

So will today finally be the day that Ireland qualifies a showjumping team for the Olympics since Athens 2004? Crazy to think that it's been so long, but I still would not bet on it. Tough teams ahead and behind us in the standings.
-
So great to see the team get a well-deserved big reception for their arrival home. Well done to all who came out to greet the team at such an early hour of the morning, our fans never cease to amaze me

"Give me the job or else...." That should do the trick
-
Don't tempt fate
-
And then finish 7th tomorrow and 0.01 from Olympic qualification. And then all will be right in world of showjumping

He had 2 good seasons but he was never reliable either in the way Cian O'Connor, Jessica Kuerten or Dermot Lennon were with their top horses.
-
Yes I have
-
Still though, hard to excuse that shambles But the truth is they were not strong enough to challenge. We haven't had a top showjumper who can deliver for a decade now, never mind 4 of them.
-
Another epic fail for the Irish showjumpers We don't have any particularly strong showjumpers anyway.
-
Well, Ireland will hopefully make it that far at least
-
How many teams will qualify for the final round after the first round proper (second competition)? 10 teams?

Father and son with their silver medals:

That was absolutely sick and a disgrace really. He had the next fence down and that cost them qualification.... and that fence hadn't fallen all day so it was very unfair. And remember, they just missed out to Sweden at the WEG in 2014 for the last qualification spot by a tiny margin, so yeah... I'm pretty numb to showjumping disasters at this stage, it just comes with the territory of being an Irish fan.
-
It's one for the horror category . And it always culminates in the most cruel fashion too where we almost make it, but miss out by 0.01 or something. Even Cian O'Connor's surprise bronze at London 2012 came with 2 cruel twists.... 0.02 over the time for a time penalty (thus denying him the chance of gold) and then the last fence down in the jump-off for the silver
-
Typical Awaiting another Olympic qualification disaster as is the norm.
