Even SKARIER Ukraine woman!!

These are big scary women!!!!!!

[Skittl1321]

Is anyone in judo NOT scary. Seems like that would be more "news" worthy.

[SHARPIE]

Slightly less huge and skary (But still big and skary!) British woman takes bronze!!

[Lorac]

But the GB scary woman gets a bronze - congrats to her - 2 medals in the judo - who would have thought!!!! Congrats to her

Dressage is like the old compulsary figures in FS. Don't understand any of it but it does look good!!!

The Brit chick who won silver yesterday looked really pretty on the highlights show.

Hmmm... Dressage - Is it just me or is it a bit cruel to get horses to prance around like that?

Since we have no understanding of the scoring we can always say Wuzrobbed.

My sister-in-law does dressage. She says that it's physically very challenging for the horse since the rider is asking them to go into positions that aren't natural for them. Her horse breathes harder after a round of dressage than after a long walk.

Yeah, the horses always seem to be sweating hard after only a few minutes. And then they keep going.

[SHARPIE]

Poor Horsies

[Skittl1321]

I wonder if it is like elephants that show signs of fear and anxiety when asked to stand with more than one leg off the ground, or if the horses are like the other Olympians- doing more than most think is "humanely" possible, but thriving on it.

I hope the horses don't hate it.

Didn't she!! Didn;t realise it was the same person.

Vicky P fluff, meh, she's a bit of slaggy, innit! You would though

My sis-in-law's horse seems to like it. Sometimes we'll see her running around the field, stopping, collecting herself and doing some dressage steps! It's funny to watch.

That makes me feel better about it.

[liv]

Ahh, at least the horse wants to practice on her own!

And yeah, in that kieran that old guy on the durny?? looks so calm and sedate and then these athletes are lined up breathing down his neck I've never seen this before so it's amusing to me.

Am following thread. Boss in meetings, it's Friday, and no one calling. Can I make a request for tramp reports? Take tramp to mean whatever you want.
