Mayer retired in decathlon

Yesterday was held the eventing "test-event" in Versailles. The main goal was to test the quality of the ground and the stability of the bridge on the canal. Only 4 (unknown?) riders took part. A few images here :

According to FEI rule book, nation with higher number of participations ranks higher, if it's still a tie, total of penalties across all legs. Spain and Italy both competed in all events so it will go to the later in case of a tie.

just finished bying my tickets. Some sports already sold out (climbing, canoe slalom, show jumping, eventing (except SJ phase)...). Mostly the most expensive categories left. I only added some dressage freestyle to the pack I already bought.

Bought my tickets this morning, snatched some athletics, rugby and canoe. All my top sports were gone : equestrian (my overall priority was xcountry...), climbing, fencing, judo, artistic swimming... I feel like only team sports and expansive athletics will be left for the next draft.

Given that France isn't in the run for quotas, we know for sure the 5 qualified?

Underhill has been eliminated after completing her course. Blood issue?

Sweden only clear of the first riders, gold 🏅 at the tip of their fingers.

The fourth Brazilian (who didn't finish either course) will not start, so they are officially without a drop score.

And there will be no USAmerican in the individual final either...

First clear inside the time for Bulman !

I swear it's glued to the stands

Really nice round from de Luca, but still 2points of time
