Following the jog on EN’s Threads thread:

Withdrawn before inspection:
Sarah Ennis/Action Lady (IRE)
Carlos Parra/Safira (BRA)
Sanna Siltakorpi/Bofey Click (FIN individual)
Carlos Diaz Fernandez / Taraje (ESP individual)

Shane Rose’s Virgil held but accepted upon representation.

South African rider had to jog twice due to “antics”.

For Japan, Cekatinka and MGH Grafton Street both sent to hold. Cekatinka withdrawn from hold box incurring 20 penalties and dropping Japan off podium (for now). MGH Grafton Street accepted upon representation.

A little treat for those of you up late. I put together all of the photos and videos from XC that DH and I took yesterday. The crowds were absolutely insane so some of them aren’t very clear. The videos with sound, especially at the end of the album where the last french rider came through (grey horse, videos 32 and 57 seconds long), really demonstrate the environment. Very very cool. :blush: Enjoy!

I know ther is an explanation, but how they can let the German rider show jump when he didn’t finish, defies the entire sport. I hate the rule allowing only 3 rider teams!

And demera, thank you SO much for this lovely gift, I don’t have time to look now, but I certainly will!

Wow! 44 jump penalties on the rider from Ecuador. I think you should be DQ’d after 4 or 5 rails down.

I really like the way the are doing the scoring. It is instant.

to the person looking for us to keep you up, only one clear so far. The cute Finnish horse that was the girl’s junior horse. Follow the score sheet would be a more accurate account.

40 is currently the approximate bubble score to qualify for the top 25 individual final.

The Canadians will need clear rounds and some help from others to make it. Karl has a good chance, Mike more of a long shot. hope we have at least one Canadian in the final 25.
