Russia Favored In Riding Meet At Stockholm Olympics
Russia’s strong entry was seen as the team to watch in the three day endurance ride at the equestrian Games in Stockholm. Britain’s riders led after two days riding a Queen Elizabeth horse but face a tough five stage course touted as the hardest on the program. The United States team totaled 5000 penalty points after two days of dressage and sits 17th among 19. A 22.6 mile course awaits, considered tougher than the Helsinki track used in 1952, with experts predicting under a third of the field may finish.
