Don't know what is waiting for..... Athletes should have voted on Sunday but no news since..... Hopefully they will announce it today?

 Sara Algotsson Ostholt and Max Salminen

 

Rather interesting to pick a reserve.

Yes, I secretly hoped for Sara!

 

It's just the magnitude of her involvement in the Swedish equestrian community that's impressive - bringing home a medal on a family-bred Swedish Warmblood. Can't get much more enthusiastic than that.

Would have prefered Rissveds but I really don't mind Sara getting it. I remember how Swedish fans gathered to help her keep Mrs Medicott (Reality) and the support she got after losing 2 horses to a fire.

I wanted Rissveds but congrats Sara. 
 

Salminen is a great choice!

The way she went from gold to silver in an instant in 2012 is still for me one of the most heartbreaking Olympic finishes ever.  I'm happy to see her carrying the flag.
