De_Gambassi 896 Posted August 25, 2017 #161 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) Il y a 1 heure , OlympicIRL a déclaré: I can't put it into words but this feels so amazing. I have so many bitter experiences as an Ireland fan and not just in equestrian (but especially in equestrian) and I really needed a night like this for so long to lift the spirits. Just great!!! Have you had any team world/continental championship since the last jumping title in 2001 ?(and no the Six Nations or the AFL International Cup doesn''t count ) Edit: as far as France is concerned, we will nd up this equestrian championships with 0 medals. And yet, it feels like it's the best thing that could ever happen post rio succeses and looking to Tokyo.

We did however win the last ever A1GP World championships which was the most awesome motor sports competition ever We barely even compete in many team sports (volleyball, handball, water polo are basically non-existent for us or close enough and only just recently we started entering some national teams in basketball). Only thing that matters here when it boils down to it is Gaelic sports unfortunately. It sucks everything in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah, tha A1GP, now that you mentioning it (and that I wikepedia it), I remember now By team, I didn't specifically mean teamsport, just something with more than two persons competeting in.

OlympicsFan 781 Posted August 26, 2017 #168 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Could someone please tell me, why Germany competed with such a horrible team in jumping? Where are Ahlmann, Deußer, Meredith etc.? What happened in eventing? How did Germany not win gold in the team? Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EselTheDonkey 644 Posted August 26, 2017 #169 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Eventing is one of the most unpredictable discipilines in all of summer sports. The German team had one error too much in the endurance competition. Get used to it, it will become even more unpredictable at the Olympics with only three competitors per team and without a drop result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted August 26, 2017 Author #170 Share Posted August 26, 2017 That was pretty cool freestyle for Weinbauer. Loved the originality in the final part. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
