The team’s total of eight faults was good for a tie for first with Sweden, which also had eight faults. Each team sent its three riders over an abbreviated course. All six jumped it without a fault, but Sweden’s total time was faster by 1.3 seconds. “I was disappointed to have the four faults,” Springsteen said before the jump-off. “But I thought my horse jumped the rest of the course absolutely beautifully.”
