Milka’s overall performance is really admirable at her first appearance in an Olympic Games. Her total score is 45.798.
Since only the first 24 ranked gymnasts (maximum two per NOC) are qualified to the All-Around Final, Milka misses the opportunity to perform in the finals.
Mathilda and Chopin VA started their show with an amazing striding and jumping. If their performance would continue with the same rhythm, it would be a great day for Sri Lanka. However, we are really proud of you as the first equestrian represented Sri Lanka in an Olympic Games!
CONGRATULATIONS!
