@JillElliott77 @TillyBerendt @Eurosport @Eurosport_UK Mine wasn’t either, I got a very generic and meaningless response from Eurosport

[Laura @LGEstables]

Ok Jessica Springsteen may have a rich daddy but you need to acknowledge that she can ride and rides well

[Sky News @SkyNews]

“I don’t feel any different than I did in my first Olympics in 92.”

Team dressage bronze medal winner @HesterDressage says you can get better with age in equestrian sports and he is “very proud” to be the oldest member of the team.

@scraggytees I know, she is a true survivor and deserves this success!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

Flipping heck. I didn’t realise that Laura had to be resuscitated 5 times following that awful fall she had. The true definition of a Wonder Woman! Incredible strength!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@oneteemussett @discoveryplusUK absolutely, couldn’t agree with you more!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@discoveryplusUK Absolutely dreadful commentary coverage of the showjumping phase of Olympic eventing this morning. The clearly unknowledgeable male commentator continuously speaking over the obviously knowledgable female commentator the whole time. Such a shame.

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

What a lovely offer from @artofdavidsmith! ♥️

[David Smith @artofdavidsmith]

@eventinghour Well done the GB team for gold at the Olympics. Would love a cracking at drawing some of those horses- beautiful. If anybody else would like one however, please get in touch.

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@discoveryplusUK To add, there was also repeated and incessant mocking of riders. Including comments that riders should simply retire or give up because their score wasn’t good enough. That is NOT the nature of our sport nor does it reflect what eventing is about.

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@discoveryplusUK He also said he couldn’t tell if Alex Hua Tian was “British or Chinese” (as if dual nationality doesn’t exist!) and then proceeded to say he “must have a silver spoon” because he studied at Eton. You should be ashamed of your commentary, despicable.

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

Unbelievably happy for the incredible Tom McEwen and Toledo de Kerser. What an exceptional combination!

Huge congrats to Laura & Oli too for really brilliant results!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

She so deserves it after everything. Her resilience and grit have truly paid off! 👏🏼

[The FEI @FEI_Global]

This woman has just made history! 🤩

She just rode clear to become the first ever Female #EquestrianEventing Individual @Olympics Champion.

Proud doesn’t even come close. What a day for Eventing & what a day for @JK_Eventing!! 😭🥳🤩

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@ARosieLloyd @discoveryplusUK It was so shocking and incredibly disheartening for our sport

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@Catherine_Dakin Doesn’t it just, especially when there’s already a misconception around our sport!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@JojoFucksticks @discoveryplusUK I’ve learnt that he has had prior complaints made in regards to his commentary, which still didn’t stop @discoveryplusUK from allowing him to commentate again!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@ruth_stack @discoveryplusUK Isn’t it just, so disappointing!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@JojoFucksticks @discoveryplusUK I opted for the BBC commentary instead with the fantastic Ian Stark and Nick Luck. Who, at the very least, have a basic level of respect for their fellow human beings

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@SarahCHudson @discoveryplusUK Undoubtedly patronising, but hate is a strong word so isn’t really my line of thinking. I think he is just ‘old fashioned’ and narrow minded which is translating into very patronising and demeaning commentary from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about!

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

WOW WOW WOW! 49 years later and we’ve only bloody gone and won Team Gold! #TeamGB #Tokyo2020 #Gold

[#EventingHour @eventinghour]

@nicolacranham Ever heard of a concept called dual nationality?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ He’s just been shocking!
