Rio 2016 - Equestrian Olympics Day 4 - INDIVIDUAL Jumping Finals (MEDALS!)

A athlete edition.

WARNING! WARNING! HIGH CHANCE OF RIDER DYING! Horse less likely since obstacles are much safer then cross-country

>Fuck you burgers, where's REAL strams?
Ask a bong or nazi user, alot more popular in their countries.

>WTF is jumping, is it like that cross-country yesterday?
Not really, cross-country is more going through terrain and obstacles. Jumping is about jumping over high obstacles in an arena.

>Who is good in this sport?
Usually german dominate all equestrian. France just won gold in Team Equestrian though.

>If this is safer then cross-country, how come still high chance of rider dying?

Horses tend to do something call a refusal, where they refuse to do a jump. Imagine doing this last split second and lawn darting their rider. Also horse could always fuck up the landing and flip over on top of their rider (these horses are 1200+lbs warmblood breeds).

>is an horse an athlete?

Is an horse an athlete?

I hope the riders got their dose of proteins before the ride

Yes

Do horses also receive medals?

Do Mexicans treat their animals nicely?

They do it for free

So how does this work? Is it about the fastest time and then added penalties from clipping obstacles?

Exactly. Added penalties per second beyond a certain time.

Starting!

Thanks. Does the horse memorise the track?

Belg just finished.

How is this considered a sport?
No bantz just want to understand.

Nope, riders have walked the course beforehand though.

Netherlands up.

As a person who recently got into horse riding and care, and helping with beginner classes all the time, i can't really describe it fairly til you get on top of a horse and try to control it.

literally what?
What does the rider do?
Is there a skill to this?
It seems like i can just jump on a horse and be a olympic athlete if i have a good horse...

Question: Why do the horses sometimes refuse some jumps in cross-country but are always happy to oblige in main jumping?

Alot more for horse to worried about. Scary objects, nervous rider, screaming people, etc. etc.

cross-country is harder and not so fun

So can we all agree that London had the best designs? These brazilian ones are shit. One of them is just a purple wall....

Horses actually really hate it when people clap and cheer. That's to taunt them for doing poorly.
