As someone who doesn’t watch many equestrian competitions, this second round of jumping seems redundant 

Would you like the results to be taken after the first round?

I'm disappointed, but I'm not surprised.

There just isn’t much difference between Rounds A and B. It just extends the competition time.

 

If there was at least a different course layout or something, I could stomach that more.

Course designer has on option to lower or raise the obstacle heights in between rounds so there's that.

 

Plus you very rarely see the results staying the same.

EDIT: Actually looks like the individual championship has scores carrying for the whole week this time.

 

So, top 3 after round A are:

 

Barcha 4.06

Kraut 7.39

Garza 9.63

 

And for the Olympic qualification:

Larocca 13.27

Teran Tafur 14.23

Larrazabal 18.41

Covarrubias 18.96

 

It is going to be a tight battle. Others are all out.

But is going to make it through the rankings so there wasn't much drama in the end.

 

Overall a pretty poor Olympic cycle for small nations in jumping. Previously we had witnessed  earning quotas at the Pan Ams. I had hopes for  here but it wasn't to be.
