      Watching the show jumping. Incredible how engaging it is! Amazing animals.

      It's the only equestrian event that has me engaged that's for sure. Was so nervous watching Nick Skelton :D. Skelton currently in gold medal position with 9 riders left.

      Not for me Crouch I still think there's a trouser snake in there somewhere  :f_whistle:

      I know you're joking mate, but i think it's sad she'll (yes, "she" you bas**rds :D) live with that for the rest of her life and her achievements will mean F**k all to most people despite nothing being proven.

      The shambles that is the IAAF set her up for this crap. They're a mess and have been for decades.

      Me too, lads. Can't say i'm a long time fan but i'm loving it so far. Beautiful animals.

      I love that the jockeys stop the performance if their horse has an awkward landing or knocks over a few too many pegs.

      So the gold medal will eventually be decided by a jump off, talk about tense!

      I agree about the jockeys mate. It's great to see that the animals are being thought of and looked after properly when you consider the dreams of these jockeys and wanting to win gold.

      Ali Al Thani scrapes through a clean run, that was so close. 0.06 seconds left on the clock which would have seen him take a time penalty.

      I know next to nothing about equestrian events but what struck me after Charlotte Dujardin's gold medal was the affection and emotional bond the riders had towards their horses. It was moving to see and easy to see why it is so highly regarded in the Olympics.

      Aussie men's BMX-ers winning 3/3 each in their semi finals. Brilliant. Going for gold.

      Aussie women so unlucky. One got clipped in the final semi-final to just miss out. Was a medal favourite.

      Well done Skelton.

      Was rooting for the Swede. Love that horse after watching it only once.

      That poor last fella would've won if he cleared the last jump!

      What in the actual F**k is wrong with Australian gold medal favourites? Every c**t hasn't got a medal let alone gold in the final! Top 2 qualifiers came 5th and 7th in the BMX final.

      Edit: F***ing 6th and 8th even!
