A good handful of athletes have grabbed their second MER. Hausmann-Ferreira missed out. I'm keeping an eye out on Group F nations because I suspect they will struggle for the team quota.

Just an off day unfortunately... Reared in the final piaffe (3.6 average) to drop below 67% in the final 15 seconds.

Wechta yesterday in Spain, unfortunately without MER (24 pen). He still have a chance in next events in Spain. The rest gain also some olympic points Opłatek,Skrzyczynski, Konopacki in events for Longines Ranking, but there it was not pościele gain MER.  In my opiniom Turkey, Israel, Czech, Hungary looks good for team quota.
