Germans are especially possessed today.

Nice to see a water jump that's actually causing problems.

And once again Team Ireland just can't find a clear round. It's like watching an endless replay.

Blum & Alice

Great round for Zaloznik!

I love how Ireland only had 4 individual riders in whole of Olympic history, and now 3 of them from very different generations came together and qualified a team. In case you missed it, Team Ireland Equestrian covered the event with some interviews.

Plus Brazil in dressage. All of them are working on it though, except Brazil for the moment.

There are no composite teams. South Africa should qualify.

Finland and Norway have basically secured individual quotas for Group A as the only remaining unqualified nations. Ok, there is Iceland too, but they never ever compete.

News coming through that Dujardin was eliminated due to a bloody spur mark detected after the ride. Here are the (detailed) individual results. Top 30 advance to the next round, meaning everyone up to and including Florian Bacher.

What the hell Charlotte Dujardin got eliminated! Netherlands moves up to silver, Sweden gets bronze!

Dear Lord... Can Sweden be any more unlucky? Last year they missed out on a medal by 0.2%, and today they also missed out by 0.2%... Dutch kind of trolled themselves to this medal. Meh.
