Nah, Werth actually had a big degree of difficulty (base value 10.0).

 

Good thing degree of difficulty is calculated automatically, otherwise these judges would just give 100% to Dujardin.

This music for this choreography was so childish.....

Aliaksandr Faminou and Jessica Phoenix out of the eventing at last minute.

 

Pawel Spisak's Banderas was withdrawn during the horse inspection, sadly. Jan Kaminski and Jard will replace them.

Further changes in eventing.

 

Australia decided to choose Kevin McNab after all, while Stuart Tinney has been relegated to the reserve slot. Sad.

 

Meanwhile, Austin O'Connor will replace Cathal Daniels for Ireland. It is unclear whether this was a tactical option, or if Daniels withdrew last minute (even after getting accepted at the horse inspection). Any word on this? @OlympicIRL @dodge

So sad for Daniels of course but also a blow to our medal hopes

[dcro 10,210]

Townend leads narrowly so far over Hua Tian and Tomoto.

 

Extremely short dressage test. There is not even a halt at the beginning. Horses just go down the center-line and straight into extension.

[dcro 10,210]

Pretty good test for Zelenko.

 

Hope he "survives" the cross-country. He is amongst the least likely to do so.

[dcro 10,210]

Pretty adventurous test for Gavino & Source de la Faye. The horse blew a fuse in the canter. 47.50 penalties.

 

Lucinda Green used this opportunity to express her dislike of chestnut mares. "They are too temperamental".

@dcro How good or bad is Mirza's score?
