Equestrian at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

Lamaze last to join the jump-off!

 

So we have 6-way battle for 3 medals to come.

So a good result is almost impossible. Guerdat already won a gold and has been caught doping, Lamaze also already won a gold and GB just doesnt deserve a gold here, considering how bad their team was. I hope that the guys from Qatar, Sweden and the US will win the medals, but that seems very unlikely. At least Skelton/Lamaze shouldnt win the gold here.

Aah damn it, Dubbeldam misses out on a gold medal chance by 0,02 seconds in the very last competition before being forced to say goodbye to his horse due to idiotic business stuff

vs for gold

Skelton is lucky that rules changed so he could win despite having fence down in all qualification rounds.

 

Silver for Fredricson, bronze for Lamaze

What a horrible results, now even british grandpas win gold medals, this is very bad for the sport. I dont get why we have 4 rounds for teams but only 2 rounds for individuals, everyone knew that we would get completely random medallists by having only 2 rounds, with a first very easy round.

I didn't watch the showjumping this time.... @dcro would you say the course was a bit "easy" this time for an Olympic Games? Usually there are very few clear rounds.

How is that bad for the sport?
I think it's a beauty of the sport!
