Commentator is getting more angry at the faulty graphics as the competition progresses. "4th place with 87.7, are you kidding me?!"

 

Seriously though, 87.7 is unbelieveable score. Anything under 100 is astonishing.

Sara Algotsson Ostholt goes 5th with 34.2. Great stuff for the Swedes. It's pretty much over now, three riders left , but all of them will struggle to break 50 pens. A bit of an anticlimactic finish.

 

Tseliapushkina & Passat will be cool though. These two competed all the way back at the 2008 Olympics, the only horse & rider combination that still competes at the highest level.

They said in the media centre, that the Germans' team result is the world record. I'm surprised that the result of Hoy isn't (or is it?).

Yeah, it is the team World record. Probably the first under 90.

 

Bettina Hoy had 20.8 at the 2002 World Equestrian Games. I'm not sure if that's the World record though.

It's the day for action. Sandra Leonhardt-Raith, the trailblazer for the competition, will start at 11:00.

Well, this looks like a proper Go-Cart course.

And it's time for Cross Country

Sandra going the long way almost everywhere. At the end of the course she went the direct way and picked 20 pens.

[dcro 10,179]

Looks like Hastrup also picked jumping 20. At least she goes the direct route everywhere.

And that's a refusal for Townend.
