Family of Portuguese Olympian Goncalo Carvalho assaulted his team mate Vasco Godinho, for unspecified reasons.

 

Previously they assaulted a couple of journalists (in 2015) and another team mate Miguel Duarte (in 2016). And yet they never suffered the consequences. How lovely.

That's two of the equestrian commentators I grew up listening to gone in the last few years (Irish and British) :(

What a dreadful week for equestrian this has been... After Mike Tucker, two prominent international horses passed away suddenly too...

 

:CAN Kathryn Robinson's Rio 2016 ride Let It Bee passed away suddenly after collapsing during competition. So gutted for them, one of my favourite combinations. :cry: Also pretty sure this is the first equine Rio Olympian to pass away....

:NZL Wendi Williamson's ride Dejavu (WC finalist from Omaha last year) also passed away suddenly... Big blow for the Kiwi team going into WEG, as they actually had a decent chance of stealing team dressage quota from Australia, but now it's gone...

 

Also in shadow of all that, :GER Bettina Hoy announced she won't be chasing team selection anymore. :(
