Omega ansvarar för korrekt tidtagning under de Olympiska Ryttartävlingarna.<br />

Över Maraton-porten på Stadion hänger en för alla väl synlig<br />

urtavla.<br />

August Lütke-Westhues och Trux von Kamax, Tyskland, på väg till starten<br />

för banhoppningen.<br />

Omega is responsible for <strong>the</strong> correct time-keeping during <strong>the</strong> Equestrian<br />

Games. A big clock-face is hanging over <strong>the</strong> Marathon gateway in <strong>the</strong> Olympic<br />

Stadium.<br />

Aug. Lütke-Westhues on Trux von Kamax, Germany, entering for <strong>the</strong> start<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Jumping test <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Three-Day Event.<br />

Petrus Kastenman och Iluster över hinder nr 1. Höjd 1,10 m, bredd 1 m.<br />

Petrus Kastenman on Iluster, Sweden, clearing <strong>the</strong> first obstacle, 1.10 m. high, 1 m. wide.<br />

Kastenman rides first <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three main competitors. If<br />

he completes <strong>the</strong> ride with only one knocking-over, he<br />

will be <strong>the</strong> winner. But Kastenman actually makes two<br />

knocking-overs incurring 20 minus marks.<br />

Now Lütke-Westhues has <strong>the</strong> chance to win. The actual<br />

difference in marks, however, is so very small that he<br />

will have to ride a clear round if he is to be <strong>the</strong> winner.<br />

But Lütke-Westhues also incurs 20 minus marks, and<br />

so Weldon is placed in <strong>the</strong> same situation. A clear round<br />

would give Weldon a Gold Medal, and 10 minus marks<br />

for one knocking-over would give him <strong>the</strong> Silver Medal.<br />

However, Weldon gets 20 minus marks. And so <strong>the</strong> final<br />

placing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> three leading riders remains unchanged.<br />
