The partner country, the USA, currently lies third (102.10). Hallie Coon with Cute Girl, Alyssa Phillips with Oskar, Elisabeth Halliday with Shanroe Cooley and James Alliston with Karma are waving the flag for the stars and stripes.

Individual classification
The gold medal winner from Tokyo, Julia Krajewski (GER), leads with her future hope Nickel with 23.90 minus points. Christoph Wahler (GER) and Carjatan S, who together with Jung and Krajewski were part of the team that became team world champions in Pratoni del Vivaro in 2022, have 28 minus points, currently the second-best result. Britain’s Emily King is in third place with Valmy Biats. After dressage and show jumping, three-time Olympic champion Michael Jung was actually leading the field with Chipmunk, but withdrew before cross-country.
