riariWow. In the Equestrian events, Individual Jumping just had their finals. (Well, aired on TV anyways.) There was a jump off for the all the medals, two for gold and seven for bronze. The bronze one was really exciting because jump offs are only like five fences and you go as fast and cleanly as your horse can.
In the bronze jump off, the two Americans actually jumped over a piece of decoration instead of riding around it to get the next jump faster. That was a "huh, haven't seen that before" moment. Wow. Though one of them didn't quite clear the last fence, the other one did so they won the bronze. The gold jump off was exciting and Canadian Eric Lamaze won.
Rhymthic Gymnastics are going on now, which is interesting to watch.
And yay! The Chinese team I was rooting for won bronze. I was watching their match last night and fell asleep during the second set.
