Juliette Ramel with the horse Buriel was not seen as top tipped in today's dressage.
Despite that, they offered a nice effort - and also beat a personal best in freestyle.
The crew received 81.182 percent, which is a substantial increase from the previous record of 74.346.
The final position has not yet been determined, but she will end up in the top ten.
"Probably really doomed"
Therese Nilshagen was higher up on the favorite list with her horse Dante Weltino.
The crew received 79.721 percent.
- It felt good, fun, we got a little misunderstanding in the beginning.
He was not really on the notes that there would be piaffe there, I might have given a vague help, Nilshagen says to Discovery Plus.
- It is clear that they are investing in getting over 80, but it was certainly really doomed, she says.
The competition is ongoing.
