Follow the showjumping action from the eventing competition at the Rio Olympic Games via our live and interactive written commentary service
Welcome to H&H Live – Horse & Hound’s live and interactive written commentary service – as we prepare for the final day of the eventing competition at the Rio Olympic Games. The showjumping action is due to get underway at 2pm UK time on Tuesday 9 August, so make sure you’re logged on so you don’t miss a moment. You can register below to receive an email reminder if you’d like to do so.
H&H’s website editor and eventing enthusiast Carol Phillips will be on hand throughout the two-part showjumping phase to keep you updated with the latest news, assisted by online journalist and fellow eventing enthusiast Gemma Redrup. There are two rounds on showjumping in the eventing competition at the Olympics: the first results in the team medals, while the top 25 individual riders then jump again to decide the individual medals.
