In dressage Germany is the favorite for gold, especially after the form their riders shown at the German championships. As in most sports, World rankings are not the best reference. The key of German

Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

OMG horrible finish for Australia :(

Do you know what happened with the live results? It says that Germany is at 107.30 at the moment, with 66.40 by Auffarth and 40.90 by Jung. Australia is first with a final result of 150.30, this would mean that Germany could still take the lead if Klimke reaches the finish in time without any refusal, but that doesnt make any sense ...

:GER Auffarth had her 20 penalties at last water removed (as I expected). Suddenly Germany could be back.

Very sad to hear. Political decision? I think so.

No it wasn't. They added the refusal by mistake, many riders made turn on that obstacle and nobody else got it

 

Klimke eliminated.

Yeah expected for Klimke, it just isnt meant to be, the course is clearly to difficult, organizers are shockingly stupid, just like those in road cycling. If so many elite riders have refusals, than you clearly did something wrong. Its not about the best athlete, but about the most lucky athlete. :facepalm:

Braindead? That's quite a statement!
