Poor Schleu. God what a horrible sport this is. So unfair on her.

The horse lottery makes it more youth, gender equal and urban.

Schleu having a nightmare!!

That’s awful for Schleu. Nothing she could do at all.

This sport is honestly just a farce. The likely gold medallist is eliminated by the organizers.

They should have skateboarding as one of the 5 sports instead of this, being serious too

Soooo. Out of 36 riders only two without penalties. What a mess...

I'm afraid she did panic right at the beginning, did not make things easy for herself.

Oh man... 5 years of training down the drain

I generally only watch modern pentathlon every 4 years and it annoys me every time. A top show jumper could not have done anything with that horse. Farce is right.

Say what you will about skateboarding, they don't randomly give some of the 12 year old girls a skateboard that just doesn't work.
