Well yes, you can't really cover the whole 30-40km wooded course with cameras. And using roads would be too hard on horses.

Endurance race has apparently been completely restarted. So now it will be 4 loops and 120km, instead of the usual 160km distance.

 

Standings after loop 1/4...

 

Individual

Jaume Punti Dachs

Alex Luque Moral

Fauiz Al-Turkomani

 

Team

Spain

United Arab Emirates

Uruguay

 

Uruguay is going really well!

 

Bahrain and Qatar are the biggest underperformers.

Barack Obama is going well too.

Indeed, @Wanderer how much did the Kiwis pay for this one?

I'm fighting with glitchy results sites and live streams for a whole day and now even Totallympics is not working. Come on.

Updates on dressage...

 

Juliette Ramel missed a chance to become an individual leader, but wasted it with a mistake. Still 2nd place with 75.2%.

Brett Parbery delivered perhaps my favorite test of the day in terms of harmony, and yet he got only 70%, because you know, Australia is too exotic for these unbelieveably closed-minded judges..

Anders Dahl scored 68%, much like I expected, bad for Denmark.

Beatriz Ferrer-Salat got almost 73%, so Spain is looking quite good for qualification.

And finally, Annabelle Collins delivered a very smart test for Bermuda.
