FEI moved it under the paywall unfortunately.

 

Beautifully crafted course.  Eliott made it look very easy which of course it was never going to be.

Pretty good start for Canada with Winter picking up just a handful of penalties.

 

Brazil's Fonseca was clear but quite slow. Every other team had stops, with a Colombian youngster taking a harmless dive at the lake.

White  picks up 2.4 penalties, but still pretty good considering most everyone is going over the time allowed.

Clear (even if slow) for Uruguay! Who knows, maybe top 5 is in the card for them.

Extraordinary to see 70 years young eventer competing at this level.

Just getting away with some sloppy jumps too. Clearly frustrated with the horse.
