OS final i Hoppning

The 8th of August was the day I was hoping to see Sweden win a gold medal in Show jumping.

Unfortunately the best Swedish rider had to take his horse out of the competition due to a minor injury. The remaining two Swedish riders had two fences down each and didn't make it to the second round. We had fantastic seats, the weather was great, the atmospfhere was just as good as you would expect and it was very exciting all to the end, even though Tem GB didn't win any medals. Instead the winner was a Swiss rider and there had to be a jump off between an Irish and a Dutch rider, where the latter won. Below are some photos from the day.

The entrance to Greenwich Park.

This little park got very busy between the first and second round in the final.
Just imagine when 23 000 visitors are going to eat (food stands at rear).

Our view of the course and the arena exploded every time there was a Brittish rider.

The Stonehendge fence in the back ground was very beautiful.

The water fence caused trouble for a lot of the riders.
