Rather hard - would require many of the top teams to suffer big errors and perfect performances from all three Irish competitors.

Although with no discards this time there could be carnage if the Cross Country turns out to be difficult.

It will make it very unpredictable.

Czech Miroslav Trunda trotted through flying changes. I'm afraid he will be given 1s across the board for that.

Boyd Martin with a total mess. I can't believe someone experienced as him can make such cheap mistakes and throw away any medal chance he had.

It depends on the course. It will be short, but if it's tough, then there is a potential for a huge scoreboard shake-up.

Total disaster for Ireland. Barely in front of Thailand after dressage. They just looked extremely unpolished.

 

On the bright side, they nailed dressage in Rio and had an off-day on cross-country. Maybe a different fate will be cashing in this time.

Jung leads with 21.1

Fouaad Mirza is 9th after dressage! Briliant.
