I think Phelps is swimming in a little bit
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:55:10 AM
Yes it is!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:55:25 AM
Hooray - Fox-Pitt is still in the Top 10!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:55:41 AM
Too much Olympics, too little time!
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:55:43 AM
I know! Now is when I'd kill for the picture in picture that this damn tv used to have.

Did you just see that wall jump from the side? It's huge!

by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:59:40 AM
Yes! Every time I see them go toward it, I get freaked out.

These brush-boxes seem to cause the most trouble
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:00:03 AM
That horse almost galloped all the way to the airport!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:00:34 AM
That's Tiny Cook. Her horse is definitely go-y
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:01:00 AM
This horse may have kicked off a shoe.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:01:46 AM
Cue OJ Cam.

Mike Etherington-Smith from GBR is the designer of today's course.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:03:18 AM
Ultimate OJ cam. That's the widest shot ever
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:03:22 AM
Gorgeous shot.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:03:36 AM
This guy got lucky. His martingale is broken and he's JUST staying on
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:04:21 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:04:34 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:04:41 AM
That seems pretty serious. Impressive that he's been able to continue on.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:04:53 AM
Sheath = my favourite word in the horse world
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:05:41 AM
It's an awesome word in any venue...I think most would agree.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:06:19 AM
This rider is tilting off the side a lot. Is he starting to pass off or something?
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:06:56 AM
LOL He just went into a tent
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:07:02 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:07:09 AM
Maybe he was hungry. Saw some hors d'oeuvres and just went for them.|

by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:08:07 AM
The tent is not part of the course, buddy.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:08:36 AM
It is if it has a name like "The Tent of Shining Gloriousness"
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:10:23 AM
Commentator quote of the event: "Coming up on the table jump...very, very flat."
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:11:07 AM
Another jump name: "The Birdcages". Would've been better if they'd gotten Nathan Lane and Robin Williams to be the obstacle.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 2:12:30 AM
Another German on course. She's also doing a great job
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:13:39 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:13:55 AM
Refusal by Japanese rider
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:14:03 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:16:52 AM
Here comes the Canadian Samantha Taylor. Wow, we have a fair-sized team this year!
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:17:03 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:17:44 AM
Karen S (BEL) is into 5th place
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 2:18:41 AM
It's now 40 Celcius on course with the humidex
