Ireland’s fourth and final team rider Daniel Coyle had a case of so near yet so far with his Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships results second round performance this afternoon (11 August). He jumped a class round with 12-year-old mare Legacy, but they were slightly over the 86 second time allowed, and incurred two time-faults.

This meant that for a while, the Irish team were relegated to 11th place, which would have been devastating for the them as only the top 10 teams qualify for the final tomorrow evening (12 August).
