    6/7 qualified countries in Poomsae won medals. THe only one not to win a medal was who was ranked #1 for at least one event coming in.

    Nice job for Mexican gymnasts... the're mostly in in three individual finals, plus the return of Corral to his former level.

    A horse is deemed unlevel when its hind legs are clearly not equally active. That usually gets detected in extended trot or half-pass when horse drags its feet, and then it's up to the president of the jury to ring the bell and stop the test. It's a sign of lameness (most commonly momentary lameness).
     
    As for the blood rule, if a spot of blood is detected on horse during or after the test, then the rider receives automatic elimination. Most of the time it happens when a horse bits its tongue, which is bad luck more than anything else. It only gets suspicious when it repeatedly happens to same rider...
     
    Three eliminations in one competition is very unusual though. I can't remember any competition that had more than one elimination. Therefore I'm assuming that the American judge was perhaps overly strict on levelness. I could almost guess that  Beca would be the third eliminated rider. His horse has a really weak extended trot, which could make one question its soundness. But then again, I don't think he ever got eliminated for it, even if he usually receives very low marks.

    It could hardly be any closer for gold. Meanwhile, Mexico is not that far behind, but it will be very hard to overcome this gap tomorrow. Their small tour combinations really dropped the ball.

    This is Canada's best chance for a men's team medal in 20 years, but they should not pose a threat to Brazil or the United States. Even a bronze medal would be fantastic for them. They surely have improved after they hired a Brazilian coach.

    Well in all fairness, @Vojthas has video proof that the IOC doesn’t even know the Olympic Channel exists (and they’re the ones that finance it)

    I hope your men are inspired today and win gold. Canada and USA again should be your main rivals.

    @Vojthas it seems Ecuador is on fire... after swimming they are provisionally in 4th place only 4 points away from the leader
     
    @hckosice you must be happy.

    No, there is still a chance. I expected Brazil to be better at small tour, but Mexico should have an upper hand at big tour combinations, so we will see what happens. It's kind of hard to believe that both Leiva and Palacios placed behind a Peruvian rider though.
