This week, we're spotlighting Team Germany, arguably the strongest team and a top contender for gold. Sitting second based on their top 4 Elo-rated horses with an average rating of 759, Chef d'Equipe Otto Becker faces tough choices among 143 active horses. Key contenders include Christian Kukuk and Checker 47, Richard Vogel and United Touch S, Philipp Weishaupt and Zineday, and Andre Thieme and DSP Chakaria. Our predicted team for the upcoming competitions is Kukuk with Checker, Vogel with United Touch, Weishaupt with Zineday, and Thieme with Chakaria. 

We also explore the controversy over Chromatic BF's sudden death at the World Cup Finals in April. The necropsy report has led to a disagreement between the owner, KC Branscomb, and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF). Chromatic BF died after receiving legal post-exercise substances, but without a blood sample, the cause is inconclusive.
