Surely this is the first time ever that Belgium is leading eventing championships, even if it is a very provisional lead indeed.

Done.

Another decent test for Belgium.

but equestrian sports are different, in the sense that this is the only sport where you see our riders competing with their Military Uniform also when they represent the National Team...

 

and this is NOT a good thing...

 

moreover, you underlined the positive side of our sport system...but there's also the opposite side of that medal...most of those athletes who have their financial situation made safe by the enrollment into the Military Corpse, are just not hungry enough to succeed...

 

I'd really like to see what happens if winning global medals would be the only way to earn their daily bread, instead of not experiencing any difference between a gold and and a 10th place (Olympics apart, where some significant money is at stake for all of our athletes)...
