London 2012 - Equestrian

Individual Dressage today, genuine medal hopes for GB.

Today is different to the team event as each rider will choose their own music, jockey and horse meets Strictly Come Dancing or figure skating you know.
 
Ths one at he minute is quite funny.

When you get he musical choices right i think it can lend itself to a new audience.


ETA: Two good German perforances just now.

Four to go and three of them British.
 
Sorry, but this is not a sport any more than .....a soggy buscuit competition
 
No unfortunately its not a joke. Biggest waste of time in the Olympics.

.....BUT feck that Team GB have a shot at gold.

Didn't it bring a smile to your face though?

As good as the one on at the minute is i am hoping for our Laura to hold on to the lead.
 
Aren't they doing away with a couple of genuine sports next time...like Windsurfing, or some kind of other sailing thingy...Please don't tell me they're keeping this nonsense?
 
Jesus what the feck is the point in all this then. Who the hell thought....lets make horses dance to music and call it a sport.
 
The only benefit of this is every five minutes the office breaks out into a discussion of whether or not this is a sport and the validity of this in the Olympic games. So a nice break now and then.
 
feck. My. Life.

This is crap. The 'sport' is crap.

Please don't give us gold
 
How in the hell is this scored? What makes one better than the other? I think I actually would find it easier to score an artistic shit-flinging competition. At least you could determine excremental triple pike backflips and the like
 
Someone needs to train a horse to do a few break dance moves, then it would be half watchable.
 
This commentator is literally knocking one out whilst visualising the Queen, naked, wrapped in a Union Jack.
 
Well that last one sounded like last night at the Proms.
 
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
There is something quite sexy about a posh chick in jodhpurs and boots.
 
How much fecking money will this dressage shit take away from the rest of Team GB?
 
So, are these horses privately or publicly educated?
 
My directors daughter has a full ride (no pun intended) scholarship to do this shit in Uni.

feck Team GB, think about the Windsurfers...I'd be fecking livid if my actual Sport was being let go but this monstrosity of posh women making their expensive horses dance was allowed to remain an OLYMPIC SPORT!!!
 
I really don't know what to say about this. It's beyond belief.

Mockney say something funny so I can quote it to my friends and sound smart
 
If the Windsurfers ended their races by making their boards dance to 'A Whole New World' in a plunge pool, would they let it stay in the Olympics?
