Congrats to Gerrard.

Great win for Gerard and awesome run for Parrot; they both gave their best after missing their earlier runs.

And yet everyone is telling how Norway is going to have a private party.

Still got every chance for that, although Germany did start with Germany's famous efficiency

Of course it's the 4th place for .

 

It's pretty worrying how few nations we could have at the final medal table...

I was thinking that today with Poland, Hungary, New Zealand, Belgium, Belarus and Slovakia missing good chances already, we could end up with about 22/23 nations with medals at the end, that would be a huge shame.

silver for parrot

Yes, someone needs to take bestmen's nightshifts.

Even Australia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan finishing without medals is not impossible at all...

Happy about silver and bronze!  

 

I predicted this result for the Canadians, but with Kleveland on top.  Again a relatively unknown American taking home gold instead.  Congrats to him.

At least this won’t be as controvertial as Kostenburg’s win, but still seems a bit generous.

 

That being said Red is a good rider, he won’t be another one hit wonder.

Poland still has a very decent medal chance, and I think there's a rather good chance those other nations will combine for more than one medal as well. Or at least one.

I think it’s a pretty disappointing result for Canada. Parot in particular underperformed, and neither Toutant nor Nicholson could get a run together.

 

Honestly any of the four Canadians could have done a better run than Gerard on this course, but they failed to do so. I don’t think having silver and bronze is disappointing, but losing gold to anyone but Kleveland is a big disapointment.
