The equestrian eventing is underway. It’s the cross country section at the moment (dressage and jumping are the others). Only a few riders have completed their rounds but ... Oliver Townend of GB is out front. That means he leads Germany’s Julia Krajewski and Japan’s Tomoto Kazuma in the overall standings. Australia’s Shane Rose and NZ’s Jonelle Price are fifth and sixth.
Merel Blom of the Netherlands has the best name for their horse: The Quizmaster. I also like Phillip Dutton of USA’s. It’s a simple effort: Z. In the overall team standings, GB lead Germany, New Zealand, Japan and Australia in that order.
Australians! And friends of Australia! And people who maybe just like Australian athletes! Here’s our handy guide to Aussies in action today. Emma McKeon aims for swimming history as Australia eye more medals in the pool, Logan Martin goes for BMX gold and the Kookaburras face the Netherlands. Hooray!
