A "glitch concentration" in the penultimate obstacle knocked down a pole and the hopes of the Portuguese Luciana Diniz a medal in the final hurdles to jump horse of London Olympic Games,finishing in 17th. place .
Diniz reached the second final of the competition with only one point penalty for having exceeded by 28 cents to 84/2 regulated to complete the circuit of 12 obstacles. But in the second final and decisive test to determine the distribution of medals, eventually adding nine points, eight had shot down two more obstacles and overcome by a 80/2 for the final regulatory circuit. It was clear immediately that it would be impossible to reach the podium, which was the highest place for the Swiss Steve Guerdat, he did not commit any fault in the final two rounds and ended up with a fast 88 years in the sport of the country.
If I had made a second final clean Diniz could dispute the silver medal, but this was discussed between the Dutch and Irish GERCO Schroder Cian O'Connor, with advantage to the first.
"I'm happy with the performance of the horse, he was perfect, it was a glitch of concentration there in the penultimate hurdle to the finish line and then we paid the error of the last obstacle, too," he said to reporters at the end. Devolution, he said, happened on the curve for the eighth and penultimate obstacle, representing the famous Cutty Sark ship, when the foot of the stapes Diniz broke loose and caused an imbalance.
"There's no excuse. The performance could have been better, the horse was perfectly today, in excellent condition. Now, let's keep the dream for the next Olympics."
To Luciana Diniz, "life goes on", so back to competition next week, the Global Tour in Valkenswaard, the Netherlands, representing Portugal, keeping the goal of continuing to promote the national equestrian.
