Majority of riders are rushing into fences like idiots... Kate French and the Japanese competitor were nice exceptions, as they actually rode collected canter when needed.
But qualifying for the finals alone wasn't enough for the Olympics. In most cases you also needed to win a gold or silver medal, and expecting something like that from Sykorova or Jany was just unrealistic.
can still qualify, but all of them can get denied too if they lose to Italy and the Netherlands.
Sjef Adrianus Jozef van den Berg and Steve Christina Hendrikus Wijler will be hard to beat, that's for sure...
