It didn’t do him much good though, at least in the team results, whereas Kent jumped clear with one 1 time fault and got a silver medal out of it. But there is still the individual event which should be a great competition.[/QUOTE]
It did do him well. It helped get him and his team to a medal jump off. Canada has some unlucky rubs. Team Canada, not team Eric. 3 other people contributed to that score. USA and Germany also had some hard rubs but the fences stayed up. That’s just the how the sport goes.
It also did him well, as it solidified his reputation as one of the greatest in the sport. Even Hickstead didn’t go into the individual final on 0. Shows a lot about the caliber of Fine Lady. Hopefully Eric will get on the podium. It sucks for him that all riders are put back on 0 faults, since his performance is not equal to someone who came in with 10 faults but that’s my opinion.
