Let the Games Begin!

Sunday marked the start of my favorite season in sports - the Equestrian competitions at the Summer Olympic Games. The Olympic Games aren't going so well thus far for the Americans, but there are many competitions yet to come. Results have been posted for

• Individual Eventing - Dressage: Gold to Germany, US took fifth
• Individual Eventing - Cross Country: Gold to Germany, US took fifth
• Individual Eventing - Stadium Jumping: Gold to Germany, US took Silver
• Team Eventing: Gold to Germany, US took seventh

Today will feature both individual and team competition in Grand Prix level dressage.

Looks like the US push for multiple gold will have to remain confined to the aquatic center this year. Go Michael Phelps!
