In the end, the French riders all had unfortunate rails, with one also incurring 0.4 time faults as well, but it was enough to keep them in the silver medal spot. Japan climbed back (from incurring 20-penalty points for having to substitute in a new team horse and rider when Ryuzo Kitajima’s Cekatinka was spun at the second horse inspection this morning) to take bronze (115.8) over Belgium in fourth (123.4). This is Japan’s first Olympic eventing team medal.

All three riders for Great Britain and France will return for the individual eventing show jumping finals. Two of Japan’s riders, Yoshiaki Oiwa and Kazuma Tomoto, will also return this afternoon to jump for individual medals.

The USA finished seventh on 133.7. Boyd Martin and Fedarman B were the USA’s best scorers, jumping double clear on 32.1. Elisabeth Halliday and Nutcracker jumped clear, but incurred 0.8 time penalties to finish on 34.8. Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake pulled one rail and had 0.4 time penalties for 66.8. Martin and Halliday and their horses will return for the eventing show jumping final.
