Ireland dropped to seventh and lost out on an Olympic qualifying spot in the electrifying showjumping team final at the FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, USA yesterday where the hosts claimed gold ahead of Sweden in a thrilling third-round jump-off, and Germany took the bronze.
However, Cian O’Connor and Good Luck go into tomorrow’s individual medal-decider in sixth place and just a fence behind Germany’s Simone Blum at the top of the leaderboard, so an Irish medal is still not completely out of the question.
