    Second round starts at three and he'll probably be towards the end in the jumping order.

    Yeah it will go in order of scores i think so he should be first off of the clear rounds.

    Ah thank god.

    Alot of people say the same, and I took a long time to feel differently, but I say let the past be in the past, everyone will have their own views on what happened, but no one can deny he is a great rider. And if he does well he deserves the Gold.

    yes you have a point about the past, he did well today so far anyway.
    I would love to have seen Hickstead here it was such a tragedy what happened him. Apart from that I am looking forward to Nick Skelton, it would be good to see him do well too.

    I'm really looking forward to Nick Skelton! I grew up watching mostly British Riders on TV, and I have a real affinity to some of them!

    If this runs in reverse order I think he may be last to go.

    Finding it hard to get behind him but as a Irishman I wish him luck.

    I'd like to see Ireland get the gold :)


    However if it can't be us, he really deserves it. He's been around for years, amazing rider. I grew up watching him and Arko III

    Very confused and mixed feelings about Cian O'Connor. I love equestrianism, and I would love to see a gold for Ireland obviously.

    I'll be 100% honest I'm the same. I'd love if it was Shane Carey or someone like that, but I do think if he won it, it would be nice to take our names out of the dirt after the fiasco last time.

    One of the 5 faulters gone clear so that's the early target.

    Lots of 4 faulters to come before O'Connor though.

    I was racking my brains trying to think of the horse of Skelton's that I loved and it was Apollo, he was such a great horse to watch.

    .02 seconds earlier and he would have been penalty free. Great round though.
