One dropped rail cost New Zealand rider Jonelle Price a bronze medal at the World Equestrian Games eventing today.
Not that Price, riding Classic Moet, knew that at the time they jumped.
Lying equal fourth with fellow New Zealander Andrew Nicholson going into the showjumping, both needed clear rounds and
for at least one of the three combinations above them to have problems.
Nicholson and Nereo fell out of the frame with three rails down to finish ninth, and Price put one down to give the top three some breathing space.
Germans Sandra Auffarth and Michael Jung made no mistakes on Opgun Loevo and Fischerracaona, but overnight leader, Britain's William Fox-Pitt and his mount Chilli Morning clipped one rail and fell to third.
