Jumping: Dutch take Team Lead as Frenchman Delaveau Heads Individual Standings

The Netherlands lie top of the team standings while French star, Patrice Delaveau, heads the individual leaderboard after the first round of the team jumping competition which concluded today.

On Day 2 of the jumping championships Frederic Cottier’s course design again played a significant role. From a start-list of 144 horse-and-rider combinations only 20 managed to return without penalty, while just two teams managed to add nothing to their score lines.

One of those that held onto a clean sheet was the Dutch side which, in overnight fifth, soared up to pole position, while three clear rounds from Brazil saw them rocket up from overnight 12th to fifth place. This earned them a spot in tomorrow’s team finale in which only the top 10 nations will compete. And it’s going to be a nail-biting fight to the finish, with less than one fence separating the Dutch leaders from Team USA who are currently holding second place, while Germany and France are less than one fence further adrift in third and fourth spots
