But now Lorenzo de Luca moves into lead individually.

 

that's great...more than great, enormous...

 

but still, our main target was to make the top 6 with the team...and of course we failed big time (even if we have to say that we've been very unlucky with the injuries...first Zorzi in the week before the world champs, then Gaudiano yesterday)...

Fences flying for Canada again, but I think they'll find themselves in top 10 at the end of the day. Somehow.

By 0.27 points. Somehow was right.

That was really close for us to qualify for final , the water barrier that Sameh missed was enough to go to final

Indeed. They made the final 10 without jumping a single clear round on both days, quite possibly it's the first time that such performance was enough.

 

But perhaps also not that surprising considering how only 9/118 competitors today didn't have a fence down...

[thepharoah 2,405]

And Sameh apparentely retired which means we have no chance in individuals as well

Pas-de-Deux Vaulting

Lorenzo Lupacchini / Silvia Stopazzini - 9.027

Jasmin Lindner / Lukas Wacha - 9.013

Janika Derks / Johannes Kay - 8.872

 

It's official. I won't be winning the prediction contest despite the hype from everyone.

Happy to see that i was proven right about Sternlicht and Switzerland, despite having no clue about this sport. Some experts didn't even mention Switzerland ...

Edit: Also nice to see that i was right about Italy having no chance here, despite other people thinking otherwise.

Sensible decision. No point in chasing 35th place or something individually when this horse can win classes. There will be another day for them.
