Versailles, France—Aug. 6
Great Britain’s Harry Charles, who was 11th in yesterday’s individual jumping qualifier at the Paris Olympic Games will not be competing today. He announced on social media that his mount, Romeo 88, overreached and was not 110%.
“Maybe I’m a little disappointed but honestly not really!” wrote Charles. “He has given me so much and took me beyond my dreams, we’re leaving Paris with a gold medal and more importantly a happy Romeo, so that’s way more than enough for me!”
With Charles’ withdrawal, Canada’s Mario Deslauriers, who was 31st yesterday has moved onto the startlist with Emerson and will be first in the ring.
Competition starts at 10:00 a.m. local time (4 a.m. ET).
