Poor girl...she's done better than I could.

This showjumping element is hilarious...our commentator is exjockey Claire Balding...me thinks she's on the verge of a nervous breakdown watching it.

I think the should draw lots for all the equestrian events...so many horses that don't want to play...and when a horse going about 20mph decides to do an emrgency stop there ain't no stopping distance :lol:

The video from yesterdays men's event is even funnier.

Your girl's up now

Good round...just one fence down...luckily she drew a horse that was willing to jump.

Last event...3000m run starts in about 50 minutes.

As far as I can tell she also finished 31st overall. Hopefully she's gained some great experience for future Olympics.
