No idea why the two best Dutch riders Gal and Minderhoud are not participating in this World Cup. Tomorrow two riders that I have never heard of will start. That doesn't bode well. I don't think the Netherlands will even make it to the top 6.

Medal is pretty unlikely, but Top 6 should be quite safe.

 

Gal is taking a sabbatical this year... No idea when he is planning to come back. Minderhoud's horse was not fit to compete here.

Can you tell I know nothing about this sport

good job from Dinja van Liere for the Dutch team. Even with the two best riders from the Netherlands (Gal en Minderhout) not taking part, should be possible to get a place at the top 6. Germany, UK and Denmark will go for the medals.

The dutch team have 2 riders in action today: Emmelie Scholtens will score between the 72% and 73% as she did in Rotterdam a few weeks ago. And Marieke van der Putten wil score between 73% and 74% as she did in Ermelo a few weeks ago.

in my opinion the last ticket will be played between usa, spain and portugal

 

- Denmark, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands will be guaranteed to qualify

 Vanagaite 69.596% 

 

A mistake in one tempis prevented 70+ score and qualification for the next round. Pitty.

Galloway 70.978%

 

Australia will have to earn it this time.

Florian Bacher puts Austria back into contention with 73.4%. There is a chance they grab a quota in case the US continues to falter.

Wagner Ehlinger posts 73.3% to enter Top 10. Curiously, the first ever Luxembourgian judge at this stage Christof Umbach awarded him by far the lowest individual score. Talk about throwing your countryman under the bus just to keep your career going!

 

Luxembourg now has two riders in Top 20! They have a very good chance to qualify a team for Paris (but next year). Would probably be the first Luxembourgian team at the Olympic in decades, across all sports.

Lyndal Oatley posts 72.189% with a very steady round.

 

This is now Australia's to lose. Only a major error can stop them.

Standings after the third rotation... It's incredibly close at the top.

 

154.130%

153.587%

153.385%

151.211%

150.620%

145.606%

144.659%

143.276%

141.863%

140.575%

 

New Zealand and Japan have already completed their challenge.

 

208.664%

201.755%

 

So, Australia needs 66.801% to qualify for Group G.

 

It's an outside shot, but there is a chance Australia sneaks into Top 6, which would be a great gift for NZ...
