dcro 10,179 Posted August 1, 2021 #401 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The incident was not shown live, but from this it seems it was a freak injury, rather than a fall. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirtha22 64 Posted August 1, 2021 #404 Share Posted August 1, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce that the Swiss horse Jet Set, ridden by Robin Godel has had to be euthanised after pulling up extremely lame on the Sea Forest Cross Country Course during the Equestrian Eventing at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on 1 August 2021.

Adriano 444 Posted August 1, 2021 #405 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Beautiful sport, but after that (and things in UK about killing horses) we probably see equestrian sports out of Olympics in next 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? There have not been any equestrian scandals for over a decade at this point. Gianlu33 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse racing and FEI are separate sports. Unlikely an incident in that would affect the IOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano 444 Posted August 1, 2021 #409 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I know, but our world is getting more and more familiar with animals, and I think equestrian should change, playing field should be safe for animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth would you prevent a freak galloping injury? Should artistic gymnastics get removed too because Biles had a freak mental block as well??? Arguably too much has been done for horse welfare. Just ask anyone who received 11 penalties today for broken devices, which are designed prevent possible falls. Not even sure falls, only the possible ones. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
