    A few pints of lager may do the trick :)

    Awarding gold medals to animals, seems like a silly thing for the olympics anyway.. Doped animals seems even more silly :eek:

    WOW, great news. Canada won gold in badminton horse trial, well, also known as equestrian in short. Instead of jump smashing, their jumps were smashing:p

    I think the medal is for both the rider & the horse, but the rider keeps it. ;)

    imo, all those subjective sports should be removed from the OG:(

    Speaking of equestrian..

    ...the obstacles in this yr's OG are pretty unique as the design's theme centered on Chinese's influence. For this OG, they made a custom type wooden obstacles.

    I'll take back my whining comments about equestrian if they include "modern jousting" into the horse events.

    That'd be AWESOME.
    Imagine the amount of safety equipment for the horse and the rider!
