Amazing clear for Kartin Khoddam-Hazrati & Cosma. Cosma jumping 20cm above some of the jumps (not surprising considering that this horse was show jumper before).
5 combinations withdrew from the competition before show jumping.
Merel Blom - Rumour Has It
Xavier Snackers - En Silence Otrang
Arianna Schivo - Quefira de l'Ormeau

And 2 more combinations were not accepted at the horse inspection

For me Poland is the team of the day. They went from havinng literally 100% efficiency in getting eliminated in recent years, to being 6th in the team ranking after cross-country. And also having individual rider in 11th position.
Sara stays in the bronze medal position individually. I really want her to take a medal tomorrow.
Her horse Reality has similar story to Jonty's horse, crowd funding helped their partnership continue.
