The only thing I'd watch is the horse events, but they never air those, or at least not that I've ever seen.
What did you think of the female German coach punching out the horse?
Well, I read she punched the horse, but not that she punched it out. Either way, that's animal abuse. She was just taking out her anger on the horse (and the poor horse was probably thinking the horse version of WTF). People who interact with animals as a means of stroking their own ego have no business associating with animals, and I'd say she's one of those.
I stand corrected, I was thinking about "Blazing Saddles"(howls)... The riders where assigned their mounts in a blind draw. so this animal was not one of the German team's equines. From what I could gather, the horse was simply overwhelmed at the situation and did not deserve the treatment that it received....
I agree that the horses were overwhelmed and, from what I could gather reading about the number of horses who refused jumps and/or bucked, it seemed to me that the horses were not properly trained for this sort of event. I got the impression these were all local horses, so being sent into a situation they were not properly trained for is on the people who supplied the horses, and that's animal abuse, too.
Punch even is a pretty exaggerated description given the video
The article I read didn't include the video, but horses are extremely sensitive. They'll completely alter their direction or come to a dead stop with just a slight shift of the rider's seat bones, and what doesn't look like a punch to you would feel like a major assault to the horse. In fact, what the coach did WAS an assault on the horse because it was simply a factor of the coach's emotional state, and the poor horse was given the brunt of that.
Wait...WHAAAT?!! Oh man I grew up in Equestrian world you gotta be effin kiddin me!!! wtf.
I would look up the video yourself before panicking
Oohhhh….ok. Dang. Evidently that horse gave the previous rider a similar situation. Frankly, riding a strange horse IMO is BULLSHIT. She did however, not carry herself as a professional. I would have dismounted and walked away. The Olympics is now a sh1tshow. It will be nearly impossible to recover. The American Olympic Committee should be dismantled as well. The victims of all this aren’t just the viewers, but each dedicated athlete who have mastered their art. For the Olympics to recover it really needs to be Amateurs only as intended and not any Professionals. Before the USA Hockey Team beat the USSR back in the day, every Olympics or World event our team had to face a Russian Professional team and we were always a mixed Collegiate team. That’s what made our victory so special then.
Was she called Mongo?
You should correct this comment since it's extremely misleading given the actual events
Actually that was the only thing I caught, but it was lunchtime/daytime.
And too many stupid "Prizes for everyone" sports: BMX racing, skateboarding. Next it'll be synchronized butt scratching and booger flicking.
