RIO DE JANEIRO -- William Fox-Pitts medal hopes took a hit Monday on a tricky cross-country course in the eventing competition at the Olympics.Fox-Pitt led after the dressage phase and seemed set to challenge for a first individual Olympic medal only 10 months after being put into an induced coma following a fall in cross-country.The 47-year-old Fox-Pitt, who returned to competitive action in early April, got off to a strong start on Chilli Morning but made a mistake on a jump, picking up 20 penalty points.Fox-Pitt also finished outside the time, picking up a further 10.9 time penalties and fell to 22nd position ahead of Tuesdays final showjumping phase of the competition.I hope (Chilli) jumps well tomorrow but its not quite so important anymore, Fox-Pitt said. Well be clutching at any chances weve got. So were not going to be in that enviable position defending a gold medal, were just going to be doing our best.Fox-Pitt, who helped Britain to two silvers and a bronze in the past three Olympics, was clearly disappointed after a run-out.I had a very good round. Its just annoying that I went past that third element, he said. Its just really unfortunate, its my fault entirely. I went too quickly I think for him. He didnt do anything wrong.Christopher Burton of Australia moved up to first on Santano II after finishing clear and inside the time.I couldnt believe it, Burton said. For a horse with no blood in his breeding he is a rocket.He started out like the three-star horse that he is but he finished a four-star horse so were over the moon.Defending champion Michael Jung of Germany and Sam FBW were second, 3.3 penalties behind Burton and 1.2 ahead of Nicolas Astier of France on Piaf de bNeville.My horse feels good after the cross-country so Im looking forward to the jumping, Jung said. Normally he jumps really well.Those were the only three pairings who were clear and inside the time on what proved to be the toughest cross-country in modern era eventing, with only 40.6 percent completing Pierre Michelets course without any jumping penalties.Germany, which is bidding for a third straight Olympic title, slipped from the gold medal position to fourth in the team competition, with Australia, New Zealand and France occupying the podium positions.The United States is out of the team competition after two of its riders were eliminated, but its other two riders -- Phillip Dutton and Boyd Martin -- are fifth and sixth, respectively, just behind New Zealand veteran Mark Todd.

Nico Rosberg said his clean sweep of practice sessions in Suzuka helped him beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position for the Japanese Grand Prix by just 0.013s.Rosberg has been the quickest Mercedes all weekend and topped Hamilton in Q1 and Q2, only for the reigning world champion to edge ahead in the initial Q3 laps. On the final runs Rosberg just did enough to get ahead on a 1:30.647 which Hamilton was unable to match.Reflecting on the lap, Rosberg said: Of course, happy with the result in the end. It was going well the whole weekend and I had a good balance in the car, feeling good, feeling comfortable, and thats what allows me to put in a lap like that in the end.It was just a good lap, just got it all done properly, thats it. I knew I could do it, I knew I could do a good lap. The first one in Q3 wasnt perfect so I just had to get my head down and nail it.Its Rossbergs third consecutive pole position at the Suzuka circuit, though Hamilton beat him to victory from second on the grid in 2014 and 2015.ddddddddddddRosberg knows the start - where Hamilton barged past him last year - will be key, but the German is also wary about the role tyres will play over the course of the race.Its just putting everything together. For sure the start is going to be an important one tomorrow, and weve seen this weekend its not been too easy because its downhill and the grip somehow has been a bit lower than usual - so its going to be an interesting challenge.From then on just need to get the tyre life to get to do long enough stints and everything to get the strategy to work, its just putting everything together.
