He's out of the team competition. Replaced by Shane Sweetnam on Alejandro

As expected, a lot of teams have entered a substitution for the team competition.

 

13/19 to be exact!

 

[dcro 10,210]

Make that 14/19.

 

Morocco too changed a horse. Ali Al-Ahrach will become another rider to compete on two horses in one Olympics.

Again an easier course for the qualifier.

 

Still lots of faults for the likes of Czech Republic and China, but should be mostly 0s and 4s for the big teams. Everything starts from scratch in the final anyway.

Oh nooo.... Shane Sweetnam eliminated, therefore Ireland eliminated.

 

Maybe not the maximum dimensions, but a serious course...

[dodge 1,026]

Not a great day for Irish people with horses

[dcro 10,210]

Apparently Ireland can still make the final... If another 9 nations get an elimination and they have the highest two-rider score.

 

So they have to compete. What a cruel format.

Teddy Vlock falls, loses conscience for a second.

Mexico eliminated too. And they started so well.

 

Irish chances are improving...
