Those rails on the last line and oxer must be DEEP cups. A lot of hard rubs, and they still stayed up.

Michael Jung! That was an AMAZING ride! Hope he wins the gold.

 

[PetPony]

😍 What a nice ride!

 

[PetPony]

Sadness. But it was a good ride for her! Nice screaming.

 

[Philliab]

Ooooooooooo! Last fence!

Yes! Michael Jung with the gold!

 

[PetPony]

Wait. Where did she have a fault? I didn't see it. 😕

Last fence she took out the front rail.

Germany sweeps again.

I just replayed it! It was so much in the corner, I didn't notice. Sad for her but good for us! hahaha

She kind of fell apart at the end, because the first part of the course was beautiful. Regardless, a silver is still awesome! And Michael Jung deserved that gold.

Now I have to wait days for more Show Jumping. 🙁 Dressage just doesn't hold me interest as easily.

When is the next event?

And he definitely deserved it. It was a great round!

(I just heard Isabell Werth's Apache was euthanized. 🙁)

Team Show Jumping starts this Saturday August 4th. Love the SJ team we brought from the US this year so I can't wait to watch them.

No equestrian tomorrow and then Dressage starts Thursday.

I talked about that earlier. It looks awkward and like girls that wanna be tough but are too scared to fight.

I liked Canada's floor routine just now!

Yikes!


Did anyone see McKayla Marnoey's vault for the USA? Holy crap! That was AMAZING!

 

[devyn]

I always think the women's floor routines are much better than the men's - the men's just bore me for some reason

The landing! 😱

👍 I agree. I like the dancing in the women's floor routines. It makes it all look smoother and nicer to watch in my opinion.

You don't like the stupid hops the men do to get into the corners?! 😱

 

[Philliab]

Last uneven bars routine by the Russian was beautiful. She looked like her legs were stuck together.

You definitely called it there!

Ugh! I want to watch!!! This is so frustrating.

Honestly...it's too many teams at lightning speed. I was hoping to see all the routines, but I've seen 3 vaults and 2 uneven bar routines for the US total. Guess I'll be watching tonight anyway to see all the routines. 🙂

I will be catching up on True Blood tonight, so still won't be able to watch.

It's really hard to follow everything. I wish they'd do one event and then move on to another, so you could easily watch everything.

Amen to that! I can barely keep up with the scores.

I don't even try with the scores!

I liked the Russian routine, but now that fall... ugh. I think they lost their medal I think from what the moderators said..

 

[wildcatj]

Poor Russia 🙁

Let's just hope the USA holds it together!

Using Yahoo live feed chat to keep up.

Nope..watching the USA on floor, but I know Beth Twiddle is amazing!

I just realized that Shannon Miller is the commentator today. Nobody better to do it!
