Eventing competition
Too many mistakes: Ambros misses out on the final
Harald Ambros missed out on a place in the eventing final at the Olympic Games on Monday. The 44-year-old from Upper Austria was unable to improve in the final show jumping competition on his stallion Vitorio du Montet and finished in 34th place. He missed out on the final of the best 25 on (today) Monday (3pm) by 9.7 penalty points.
Ambros had worked his way up to 33rd place in the cross-country after finishing 49th in the dressage. In the final competition of the equestrian triathlon in the Palace Park of Versailles, Ambros recorded a total of ten penalty points due to two knockdowns and a time penalty, which dropped him down another place. Only without penalty points would he have made it into the final.
"The ride started well. Vitorio du Montet is very confident on the course, there were zero faults up to the tenth, then we perhaps lost a bit of concentration. All in all, I am very satisfied," said Ambros in the ORF interview.
Gold in the team competition went to Great Britain with 91.3 penalty points ahead of France (103.6) and Japan (115.8).
