Sabotage in WEG combined driving

In a shocking act of sabotage that would make only Tonya Harding proud, someone slashed the tires, upholstery, and brakes on a Dutch carriage early Saturday morning.  The carriage belonged to Dutch champion Ijsbrand Chardon and the damage threatened his chance to compete in the cross country phase on Saturday.  The other teams voted to allow him to delay his start until the end of the day.  Chardon rebounded from the sabotage like a true champion by delivering the best score on Saturday and finished the day in second place of the general standings going into Sunday’s obstacle competition.  Police are investigating the sabotage according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
