Good thing with qualifying only one horse for the individual final is that we will have 3 fresh horses for the team competition

So any bets as to how many athletes will compete in the jump-off?

 

I'm going to go with 6

Yap. Every four years the same story.

**** it, just hold a 30 rider jump-off from the start.

Also, is the final really a single round (then the jump-off)? That's pathetic.

Correct. The youthful and urban format.

 

Spoiler

Admittedly, this format is always used at World Cup qualifiers, some Grand Prix classes etc. But bigger events (previous Olympics, WEG, Europeans, Pan Am Games, Asian Games, World Cup Finals etc) have never used the one round format.

Honestly, I really liked what in Italy is called "hunt", that is the time-weighted penalties of the first. the new format is completely random.

3 down + 2 time for Meech.

 

Expectedly tougher course.
