WEG: Australia assumes the lead
Andreas Dibowski of the German team achieved the best result of the day in the dressage competition of the eventing. He was awarded 40.9 (minus) points with his 12-year-old Hanoverian mare, FRH Serve Well and is followed by the Australian rider Megan Jones with the
13-year-old gelding, Kriby Parker Irish Jester, (44.1). The rider from New Zealand, Donna Smith, currently ranks third with the 11-year-old thoroughbred gelding, Call Me Clifton (45.4).
After the first day of the eventing dressage, the Australian team assumed the lead (98.6) ahead of Germany (99.6), the USA (101.1), France (108.7), New Zealand (116.1) and Great Britain (116.2). However, this ranking is not that significant, since many of the best eventers are not competing until tomorrow.
The second part of Eventing Dressage will take place today.
79 competitors from 24 nations are taking part in Eventing; there are 14 teams.
