So you can go there and make some pictures. :d Or interviews since you like to contact the athletes. :p

I guess I will either be at home or at an event with the power of 450-500 horses per participant :p 

 

But who knows, if for some reason I decide to visit my first equestrian event ever, I'll take some pictures :d

...and for the first time since 1968 there is no Ian Millar (Captain Canada) in jumping team. :cry: At least Amy Millar (his daughter) and Yann Candele (my second favourite Canadian) are there, but that is hardly a consolation. :cry:

Lol, same time. His best horse got injured and looks like that's the reason why no Captain Canada this time.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
