Equestrian at the Summer Olympic Games 2016

Hopefully we will see 4 rounds at the next olympic games, like at the world championships. Then we wont get such random results, with complete underdogs winning gold and silver. The individual qualification obviously is a complete joke, its almost impossible to not qualify for the final if you dont have to retire and then everyone starts with 0 points again. In the team event there was at least a real qualification, with teams like GB being eliminated. There shouldnt be multiple rounds of qualification, just to get down to 35 riders, it makes all the qualification rounds pretty senseless, instead qualification rounds should count for the final result, like at the world championships.

 

Its sad that some people are too childish to quote someone and instead need to talk over their head. If you want to discuss then quote, otherwise stay quiet, its really that simple, every grown-up should know that, its sad that i even need to mention it.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

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:

 

:mumble:2 silver medals and we're at the same ammount as :GBR in Atlanta 20 years ago. I suddenly have high expectations for the 2032 Olympics!  :cheer: :p

Now all you need is Copenhagen 2028 and £350 million of national funding into elite sports every 4 years!!

No problem! :p

On a more serious note. Hopes are that this succes will get our athletes 50-100 million dkr. more than for this olympic period (In which we already had much more than we're used to), as it could seem more attractive to give money.
