I've been lucky enough to be out at the HP for the games almost daily.
Totalis is beyond stunning in person. Ravel was, too!

The hardest line today was 6 to 7. 7 was a simple airy gate, but the setup to 6 had to be right on after the right turn, as it was then a "short steady, short steady, medium-medium-medium" five-stride sequence (you could not fix 6 in, and a regular 5 couldn't fit, either!) that unfortunately got some good horses. If I remember right it got Karen O'Connor a shocking refusal with a knockdown - she steadied and for a second the horse tried to steady for a third stride, then realized he was three away and tried to go on, but was too far, so (wisely) had to simply stop. A bit of confusion between them, a shame! I saw that NBC televised some dressage today - next Sunday 4pm they are televising the XC jumping from today, looks like.

What a shame! Nice pictures, thanks for the links. I don't pay attention to 3-day much (although I'm old enough to remember Bruce Davidson - the original
 as a young man. And Michael Matz starting out in the jumpers!  Today people were talking about a minor strain, just enough to not pass the vet, fortunately - but how awful to be out after doing such a tremendous job first 2 days!

Stadium finals were pretty awesome tonight. Big crowd and good performance. Took some pics of the racing-related jumps on Thursday- I love the Churchill twin spires jump.
