Saturday’s cross-country trials hasn’t changed much in the team rankings after dressage. Great Britain is still in the lead, second position stays with France, and the Irish have jumped into the third place.
The riders were tested over the course of 2990 metres with 24 fences overall. Individually, the best score for now belongs to Great Britain’s Daisy Bathe with SF Detroit. Yesterday’s leader after dressage – German rider Sophia Rössel with Camillo We, lost her position to be placed 5th for now. The British rider went clear over the fences, only 5 seconds over the optimum time. Lisa Gualtieri (FRA) with O Ma Doue Kersidal had an identical score today and sits on second after XC. Third for now is Camilla Luciani (ITA) with Camelot Damgaard.
The only Polish rider in the class, Julia Witkowska with Chester, has decided to retire from finishing the course.
Tomorrow it is time for the final rides during the showjumping arena, which will determine the team and individual medalists in eventing and showjumping.
