The first horse racing network learned that yesterday (July 28) Beijing time in Paris was sunny, and the Palace of Versailles ushered in the team competition and individual competition of the second cross-country event of the equestrian eventing of the Paris Olympic Games.
Chinese athlete Hua Tiance rode the horse "Chocolate" at 7:18 p.m. last night and finished safely. However, the pair received 20.6 penalty points due to interference while crossing one of the obstacles, unfortunately hitting the flag, and finally finished in 32nd place with a total penalty score of 42.6 in two categories!
According to the official Weibo report of the International Equestrian Federation, Hua Tian said in the post-race interview that his partner Chocolate Racing played very well in this game. The horse is a horse that the Huatian team has protected in order to participate in the Olympic Games over the years.

"We were at our best in the six-minute slot, and I knew that, so I made another option for slowing down, and the chocolate started to get a little bit tired and then it became a little bit harder to catch up with the time allowed. There was also an unusual occurrence in the woods, where the referee ran between the obstacles during the obstacle jump, and the referee gave me a penalty for dropping the flag, and I wonder if they would have revoked the decision after reviewing the video of the race, but I did have some time penalties myself. Hua Tian said.
