Christopher Burton is in equal third place following the Dressage phase, and with his reputation as the fastest man in eventing, he is a hot favourite on his horse, Shadow Man.
“It’s a tough game with a lot of rough and tumble, but he is a safe jumper, and you just have to enjoy what you've got while you're here,” Burton said.

The cross-country competition starts at 6.30pm AEST, with Shane Rose, Virgil, the second rider on course. Kevin McNab, Don Quidam, will also be looking to move up the individual and team standings in the cross-country.

Rowing

Australia’s champion women’s pairs crew of Annabelle McIntyre and Jessica Morrison commence their Olympic campaign on Sunday.

The first three finishers will progress to the semi-finals, with the rest to race the repechage.

The Australian pair is the first of four crews to race in their heats on Sunday. Those other events, in order of scheduled time, are the Men’s Pairs (Patrick Holt, Simon Keenan), Women’s Four (Olympia Aldersey, Lily Alton, Molly Goodman, Jean Mitchell) and Men’s Four (Fergus Hamilton, Alexander Hill, Tim Masters, Jack Robertson).

Australia play their opening match against South Africa at midnight on Sunday AEST and then their second match of the day against Great Britain at 3:30am Monday morning AEST.
