He laid the foundation for success in fencing. He was also steady on horseback, which he was most worried about. With a loss of twelve points, Novotna ranks 11th in equestrian discipline.
“I had a great pony jumping with me. He was absolutely amazing. Although I left a few points there for a drop and a few for time, I was really satisfied, as we both finished in good health. I can focus on other disciplines,” he said in the union report.

The eighth fastest time in the next swim brings the Czech Republic closer to fulfilling its medal dream. The eighth also starts in the last combined section. Thanks to a quality run, excellent shooting and second best performance, the combination made it to the penultimate position.
