One would probably not have predicted that Nathan Schrimsher, 28th after the fencing competition, would finish anywhere near the top. Schrimsher trailed Jianli Guo of China, the fencing winner, by 53 seconds of handicap for the combined event as the day started. But Schrimsher posted the third best swimming sore and won the riding competition to move into the top 10. A sixth place finish in the combined meant he was within eight seconds of medaling and finished seventh. An outstanding day for Schrimsher. His brother Lucas Schrimsher had finished tenth in fencing but 16th in fencing and 31st in riding left him out of contention. He finished 19th in the combined event and 27th overall.
Tomorrow the event wraps up with a mixed relay competition.
