Equestrian Eventing Cross-country Day 3 (PART 3) @ Olympics08

Maybe wolves carried her off
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:38:02 AM
Maybe she got lost in the "Stone Forrest"?
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:38:21 AM
There's the Canadian!
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:39:01 AM
Damn, right before a refussal. Made it the 2nd attempt. Her horse looks tired.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:39:10 AM
Yay...she's not dead! But not doing so hot.

There's a "Crouching Dragons" jump...but no "Hidden Tiger"? Why do you set me up for this, Beijing?
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:39:55 AM
76.80 penalties. She does not look happy

There goes Cara with the "Pit Crew" comments again. Seriously?
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:40:27 AM
It's not like the Indy!
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:40:40 AM
The dentist is still doing well...even without his groom...or indeed his Novocaine!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:41:18 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:41:20 AM
Mr. Dentist comes in ranked #1!
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:41:49 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:41:49 AM
The dentist is into 1st!

Megan Jones from AUS is up on the course now.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:42:26 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:42:42 AM
The rain is letting off. That's good, but the footing looks great.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:43:08 AM
AUS rode the water very nicely.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:43:21 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:43:35 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:43:41 AM
Wow...sometimes I wonder how these horses with the embarrassing names don't just turn around and throw their riders. "Courageous Comet"?
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:45:19 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:45:27 AM
The Americans are pretty much out of it after that refusal
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:45:35 AM
Those whistles are kinda annoying :)
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:46:00 AM
"Watership Down"? Oh the Irish...naming a horse after rabbits.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:46:08 AM
The Canadian Mike Winter is still coming up
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:46:52 AM
Ha...it just occurred to me that the OJ Cam is essentially looking down ON white "broncos"! Wow. That took me 30 minutes to get.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:47:00 AM
Is Ian Miller in this?
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:47:37 AM
Nope, he's in the straight Show-Jumping. Are you kidding, he would die in this! :)
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:47:49 AM
I thought so...just occurred to me to ask so I don't get too fan-girly when the time comes.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:48:17 AM
Rebecca Holder (USA) finished in 20th place.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:48:20 AM
The rain has started again.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:50:06 AM
Rain just started again. Touche, nature, touche.
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:50:11 AM
Aussie just made it through that combination
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:50:35 AM
"Thatched Cottage of Du Fu"...another jump name. Love how they're combining the UK and Chinese elements.
by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 1:50:40 AM
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:50:49 AM
Megan Jones ended in 2nd place
by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 1:51:06 AM
Nicely finished for the Aussie.

Another "pit crew" comment
