No doubt about Germany
At the paper and in real live Germany were just unbeatable.
Before going in to today’s Grand Prix Special Britain looked like a clear silver medal and the fight for the bronze would be between USA and Denmark, but NOTHING is decided before the final rider has left the arena.
British team from silver to bronze position
The British team was strong as expected with both Lottie and Hester in the first two groups while Dujardin and Gio was in the last group. Today a costly error for the one time tempies for Dujardin and Gio became the difference for the British team between Silver and Bronze medals.
USA from bronze contender to silver medalists
The American picture changed after the Grand Prix. Knowing that Steffen Peters and Adrienne Lyle were well prepared and strong, but bringing their ace Senceo with Sabine Schut-Keye became clearly their strongest card from being bronze contender to winning the silver medals.
Denmark finish at 4th position in today's Olympic team competition
Zack and Nanna were first to go for the Danish team and they delivered as expected, likewise did Danciera and Carina, unfortunately Bohemian and Cathrine did not deliver as expected. Cathrine was struggling to keep Bohemian active up in front of her aides all the way and unfortunately also with an error for the first pirouette.
Tomorrow is a new day for the individual final final will take place where all 3 Danish combinations will be among the 18 finalists.
The start list will be available after tomorrow vet check (local time Tokyo 10.30) before the freestyle.
