dcro 10,179 Posted August 12, 2016 Author #421 Share Posted August 12, 2016 USA not looking too good. Peters only 74% today. All depends on the very last to go which is Laura Graves. Broring-Sprehe 81% #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dujardin might have an edge though. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperados 45% Showtime 55% Two medals should be safe for Germany. Of course i hope that Werth wins an individual gold, but normally Dujardin will win the gold, especially because she gets overscored very often, probably because she is the current olympic champion. Werth would have to perform clearly better then Dujardin if she wants the gold and thats very unlikely, unless Dujardin has a second off-day in a row. I would say that Sprehe has a better chance for bronze than Schneider though ... Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

dcro 10,179 Posted August 14, 2016 Author #427 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Brazilian team was excellent today in the first jumping competition, maybe that will bring a couple of people to Deodoro in next days Anyway, Nestor Nielsen is the hero of the day #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong... Anyway, Jumping finals were sold out (for brazilians at least) long time before the Olympics. I believe Jumping is considered the main Equestrian event?

I didn't watch whole competition so can't really tell, although Germany and Brazil seemed to be the best. But, first jumping competition at Olympics is usually much easier than those to come, so this competition was almost some kind of warm-up. France and Netherlands faced some surprisnig eliminations/disqualifications though, but it doesn't hurt them that much teamwise. Eliminated/disqualified riders can still compete for a team, but their individual chances are gone. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
