How is that bad for the sport?
I think it's a beauty of the sport!

I dont want old and/or fat people to win medals. If a 58 year old can win a medal, than its not a sport, thats a fact!

In dressage Germany is the favorite for gold, especially after the form their riders shown at the German championships. As in most sports, World rankings are not the best reference. The key of German

Exactly. We are so used to having "dressage" competition these days while in reality eventing should be   1) cross-country 2) dressage 3) jumping   One of the greats of e

Superb comeback by the Germans in show jumping and superb showing by Jung. Two almost flawless Olympics in a row.

I didn't watch the showjumping this time.... @dcro would you say the course was a bit "easy" this time for an Olympic Games? Usually there are very few clear rounds.

Perhaps a bit easier than usual, but nothing too easy. Especially in 2nd round when time was tight.

For the Olympics I think it should always be a very tough test, tougher than anywhere :d

Its common knowledge. Skelton probably cant run one km without getting an heartattack, he cant be considered an athlete and if someone like him can win a medal, than jumping and all other equestrian events are not a sport.

Yet you would gladly accept the medals your country won in this "sport". Get a grip.

What? Please READ my comment before answering. It makes me really angry, you are wasting my time with your nonsense comments. I said that none equestrian event can be considered a sport and earlier i said that eventing shouldnt be an olympic discipline. Equestrian in general cant be considered a sport and therefore shouldnt be olympic, even formula 1 is more of a sport than equestrian.

Its really a shame that there is no way to downvote comment. You are deliberately wasting my time by writing complete nonsense, next time i will report your comment.

Britain sinking it's teeth into that second place and not letting go. Hard to imagine that 20 years ago in Atlanta they had 1 gold. :lol:

That's how to respond to a disaster.... if only our NOC would respond to a disaster in the same way :d

      Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday

      If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders.

      At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us.

      yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series

      after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time
