The equestrian events at this Olympics are split into six categories.
The individual and team dressage, individual and team show jumping, and the individual and team three-day event.
Huang Kaiwen is participating in the individual show jumping event.
In show jumping, whether you can clear a jump, and how much time you take, is evident to the spectators. Winning is winning; losing is losing.
But dressage is different.
The room for manipulation in this event is vast.
Of course.
This is also considered the most noble event within equestrian sports.
Equestrianism itself is a sport for the aristocracy.
Is making a horse dance high-class enough?
Whether the horse's dance is good or not is decided by the judges.
If the penalties are unknown, then the deterrent is unpredictable.
A few professional judges along with a few artistic judges give you a score, and that score is final.
All belong to the aristocratic sports circle and maintain close ties with the British royal family.
