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

 

Not much, 28000 NZD per year

Iam not a fan of endurance , but how come u just cancell the competition after these horses passed all these miles to take part and they already passed many kilometres in the competition , so it was better to take opinions of teams survived rather than cancelling it all 

[dcro 10,210]

But enough about endurance (AKA the worst organized global competition in post-1908 Olympics era...).

 

Cathrine Dufour & Cassidy sadly couldn't be in Tryon, but they are definitely in cheering mode.

 

It should be a real exciting battle between Denmark and Spain for the final Olympic spot. Spain currently has just over 2% lead, and I'd expect Bachmann to have an edge over Jurado (but not more than 1%). So it will all come down to Jager vs Castilla Ruiz probably, and that should be anyone's game.

Really sucks for Spain, as instead of going home with at least 3 endurance medals, they will be going home with nothing from this WEG...

Spanish delegation is fuming after all...

Colleen Loach opens the eventing competition with 34.40 penalties. Canada is the first to go just like in Rio, that's some rotten luck...

 

Meanwhile, awful dressage competition for continues. Godinho well below his seasonal performances...

Nice to have Karen Pavicic commentating dressage on FEItv.

Shingo Hayashi completes the test with 20-year old Exquis Clearwater, a horse that competed all the way back at Beijing 2008. That is crazy.

Is live scoring down?

Yeah, it looks like. There is an external site for eventing though.
