Watched Nick winning on BBC Sport with daughter and grandaughter. Nail biting job, so pleased for him and GD's running commentary (she's quite some horsewoman having been a reserve for the British Junior eventers team a few years ago and she also showjumps and rides point to pointers) made it even more 'interesting'. So pleased he won.
Yes maybe half an hour ago - his chin was qivering - bless him - then they had an interview with him. He said he will not come back for an 8th Olympic competition - the horse will be too old
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
So pleased for him! Such a fine horseman! I've been a fan of his since he was a lad working in Harvey Smith's stable - watched him win the Puissance when he was n'owt but a lad. Drinking his health here in Norfolk.

Didn't see the medal ceremony for Skelton, did they show it?

My memory's at fault - he rode for Ted Edgar

S##t stirrer. This is a fun Olympic thread, but there is always someone who wants to agitate.
When you don't even know who's in the team

Diving is on the red button . Tom Daley just did the firework. Its a cracker.
Lovely to have the double act back in tandem.
