Bored to tears of @Eurosport’s Richard Vaughan, who would rather speculate about riders’ financial backgrounds than their actual athletic prowess and career trajectories. Consistently ill-informed, patronizing, and unlistenable. Keep him in curling and give us our experts back.

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

“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. #Tokyo2020: trib.al/EGaW8p8

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!

@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.

@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.

@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.

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

@Catherine_Dakin Devastating that these narrow minded viewpoints have been broadcast to millions of people worldwide

@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

@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 @discoveryplusUK God I’m a touch unsure! He is so negative, and is constantly commenting on people doing badly and patronising the Swedish team. He shouldn’t be commentating that’s for sure!
