Dressage Day 2

[QUOTE=nomeolvides;6475578]
Yep, into 3rd with 77.948%[/QUOTE]

Sweet!

Thanks for the updates on Adrienne, ladies!

Lovely test from Steffan - do we think it was underscored? Perhaps less impulsion than some others, but so correct overall.

Steffan: 77.948 3rd place

[QUOTE=lovey1121;6475579]
Best pirouettes and halfpasses for Steffen IMO.[/QUOTE]

Pirouettes tightests ever IMO

Yea Steffen ! (round of applause)

Looks like US won’t medal. Last German rider just needs a 64% to beat US team score.

[QUOTE=Mickey the Marcher;6475570]
By my calculations, Peters will have to score a 79.8 to get a head of Denmark and land the US in a medal spot… The last German and Dutch riders still have to go, so even that might not be enough.[/QUOTE]

They still have to do the Special before team medals are decided.

There is still time!

I don’t think it was underscored. The scoring for the entire 2 days has been fairly harsh. Ravel’s test was really beautiful and correct but I think if you compare to Valegro you can see why he didn’t get to the 80’s, a lot less power. The judges are being more conservative and realistic, when compared with the monster scores given recently.

Kittel and Scandic not having a good round. Gorgeous horse but loads of mistakes.

Lovely ride by Steffen Peters and Ravel! :smiley: Great job USA!

Ok, gotcha.

Still looks like an uphill climb, but ya never know.

Score correction for Steffen, now in 4th with a 77.705.

Don’t mind me, an Eventer here but…what does this term mean? :slight_smile:

The carrying power was in a different class so far - a Masterclass on pirouettes!!

I feel sorry for those poor horses :frowning:

Anybody know why Steffen’s score was corrected?

I’m going to assume because they realized he was beating Hester and that just wouldn’t do! j/k

Charlotte’s was as well, lots have been corrected over the two days. Something to do with the Judging Supervisory Panel?

Sometimes it’s just an input error by the e-scribe that gets corrected when checking against the hard copy.
