Switzerland hold a narrow lead in the Team Jumping Championship at the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) World Equestrian Games in Tryon.

But the United States hosts have moved up from overnight fourth into second spot ahead of tomorrow’s medal-decider in which the top 10 nations will compete.

Thanks partly to McLain Ward and Clinta picking up just a single time fault, the US are now  less than a single penalty point behind.

Germany are third, ahead of Sweden,The Netherlands and Ireland, while France, Australia, Great Britain and Canada have also made the cut.

And the individual placings got a big shake-up, with overnight leader, Switzerland’s Steve Guerdat dropping to eighth following a single mistake.

Italy’s Lorenzo de Luca move from ninth to top when producing one of just five clear rounds on the day.

Ward is now in second, with individual European champion Peder Fredricson from Sweden in third, Germany’s Simone Blum in fourth and Ireland’s Cian O’Connor in fifth place.
