dcro 10,172 Posted June 29, 2016 Author #41 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Okay, this is a bit weird. Julie Brougham, who got selected to represent New Zealand in dressage, lied about her age. Her FEI profile was saying that she was born in 80s while in reality she is a 62-year old woman. Quote "I had tried to keep my age on the down-low, but hey, now I’m an Olympian I may as well embrace it." http://olympic.org.nz/news/brougham-knocks-todd-from-top-spot/ #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though NZOC also didn't know about her age as they initially thought that Mark Todd will become the oldest Kiwi Olympian (while Brougham is older). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted June 29, 2016 Author #46 Share Posted June 29, 2016 USA jumping team has been selected. Lucy Davis (Barron) Kent Farrington (Voyeur) Beezie Madden (Cortes 'C') McLain Ward (Azur) Laura Kraut and Zeremonie are the reserves. I'm surprised that Lucy Davis and Barron got selected again, not the most reliable combination in the World. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he has a Dutch wife and two children (a daughter and a son). His father was minister of state in the cabinet of Turgut Özal (1983-1987). heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
