This question comes to my mind when watching olympic equestrian competitions. What horse is most succesfull in olympic history?
Who is Michael Phelps among horses?

I guess it was Gigolo, he won 4 golds and 2 silvers with Isabell Werth

Are Ben Maher and Scott Brash feeling happy but a little older today. In 2012 they won team gold alongside Peter Charles. Twelve years later they win gold alongside his son Harry.

McLain Ward won his 5th olympic medal. All in team competition.

Weakest swedish performance in many years!

Danish judge scored 2.5 points higher than any of the other judges for the Danish rider. Haven't seen any other scores so I can't really judge, and I'm sure the GB judge would also have scored pretty highly for Fry. Just wondered wether they could use a system like diving where the highest and lowest scores for each move are discarded to prevent bias.

The British judge was in line with the others for Fry - the Danish judge actually scored Fry higher and the Swedish judge scored the same as the British. For Fry the outlier was the German judge, who scored her 1.6 lower than any of the others.

 

Danish judge also scored the second Danish rider 1.2 more than any of the other judges.

 

For the 3rd rider they only scored that rider 3rd highest.

 

I'm not well versed enough in Horse Disco to know the difference - or indeed whether the scoring really mattered to the fairness of the result - but there does appear to be some weird scoring variance.
