It's just started, they're trotting up all the horses to be used.
This is brilliant! So Happy!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
By:
Completely different horses to those used yesterday.
|
|
By:
Beautiful aerial shots of London.
Everyone's going to want to visit us after this. |
|
By:
keep us posted, we are watching boxing mostly, and basketball
scores I mean, and gb places ta |
|
By:
Will do
|
|
By:
Lower placed athletes going first so won't be much to report for a while.
I've just found this http://www.london2012.com/modern-pentathlon/event/women/index.html?v=20120812-151357044 Scores posted as it happens. This has become my fave Olympic event. I'm going to start training for Rio. Crumbs rider unseated! She's ok. |
|
By:
Poor girl she'll be off again in a minute.
|
|
By:
That was a shame. She got round eventually. She was a decent rider.
This is harder than people think. |
|
By:
The commentators are being very critical of the american girl. Can't believe their comments. That horse looked difficult, she was very skilled. A lot of them would have come off that.
|
|
By:
Our first girl won't be going till about 4.30.
The horse she'll be riding has already been round...looked a bit of a nutter but she should be ok. |
|
By:
Mexican girl off. That could have nasty but she's alright.
|
|
By:
Aaw she remounted jumped the wrong course then ran out of time and was eliminated.
That would be me  |
|
By:
Hungarian girl on the floor now. I really feel for these girls.
She's back on and has wrongly rejumped the fence she fell off that and has been eliminated. |
|
By:
fell off at *
|

By:
Great, the horse Samantha Murray will ride has just jumped round nicely. Looks a nice horse.
Happy with the horses our girls have got. |
|
By:
good stuff, two clears would be nice
|
|
By:
No one has jumped a clear round yet.
|
|
By:
Yes, Rick.
Our girls are both very good riders so I'm hopeful. Especially from Samantha who's horse looks to be very sensible. |
|
By:
What a totally farce sport this is. Complete Lottery
|
|
By:
the fencing is not a lottery, the swimming is not a lottery, the running and shooting is not a lottery
and the idea (originally) was to test the riders ability to jump on any horse and escape on it far from a farce |
|
By:
It does seem rather harsh if you get landed with a horse whose confidence has been shattered by the previous occupant
|
|
By:
certainly less of a lottery than the BMX final for instance

First clear round from Iryna Khokhlova from Ukraine.
She lost a stirrup before the last  . Brilliant ride.She's now in the lead. |
|
By:
Mhairi Spence up next after this girl.
She rides Coronado's Son. He's very keen. She will do well to settle him. I'm hopeful of a good round from them. |
|
By:
As I said earlier the horse is a nutter.
She rode him really well but lots of penalty points - 104. |
|
By:
Thinking about it she might have been best to let him run on a bit, as the first rider did on him, rather than fight him.
Says me, the showjumping expert  |
|
By:
We're into the top 5 now.
|
|
By:
I'll put this on again in case anyone wants to check out the scoreboard

By:
Here's Samantha Murray.
|
|
By:
2 fences down with time faults too.
Still in third position but it will be very tight now. Great round, she rode well. |
|
By:
Think Samantha is now in 4th.
|
|
By:
3000 meters with shooting to come
favourite looks short enough imo |
|
By:
saying she wont be caught on the bbc
|
|
By:
looking good for silver apparently
|
|
By:
come on girlie
|
|
By:
how does the shooting score Mak ?
|
|
By:
Samantha Murray in 4th place and Mhairi Spence in 14th going into the combined running and shooting.
That goes off at 6.00 pm (I think) I'm hopeful of a Bronze for Samantha.  |

I've no idea casemoney, sorry.
I'm sure someone else will know. |
