United Kingdom, United States and France finished first and second respectively in the show jumping team event at the Paris Olympics
On the field at the Palace of Versailles, the sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, and the riders are like angels in flight. This is not a royal equestrian show from the time of Louis XIV, but the pinnacle of the show jumping team event at Paris 2024. Team United Kingdom, Team United States and Team France, these three traditional powerhouses are like three towering trees, shining again on the Olympic stage.
The United Kingdom team won the gold medal with a narrow two-time penalty point, and the "Three Musketeers" showed amazing chemistry and strength. Mach, Scott· Brash and Harry · Charles, each of whom is a leader in show jumping this ·. Mach is known as the "Flying Man", and his partnership with his horse Dallas Vegas Batilly is a match made in heaven. Blash is the calm and composed "Prince of Icebergs", who can still maintain a stable performance under pressure. Known as "Harry · Potter on horseback", the young Charles was the reins of his magic wand, always able to cast incredible magic at critical moments.
The United States team won silver, but their performance was equally impressive. Laura· Crout, Karl· Cook and McLean· Ward's "Silver Trident" proved United States equestrian prowess with four penalty points. The 59-year-old is known as the "evergreen on horseback", and her riding skills are like old wine, and the older she gets, the more fragrant she gets. Ward is the "Dinghai God Needle" in the United States equestrian world, and can always stand up at critical moments to stabilize the morale of the military.
The France team won the bronze medal to the cheers of the home crowd, and the "Gallic Roosters" team showed the romance and enthusiasm that is unique to France. Simon · Dress, Olivier · Perrault and Julien · Epalard, each of them is the pride of the France equestrian world. Eparad is known as the "flying France", and his heroic posture on horseback is like an eagle soaring in the air, graceful and powerful.
In the race, the riders faced not only the challenge of 14 obstacles and 18 jumps, but also the sense of urgency in the race against time. With a time of 79 seconds, it is as difficult for these world's top riders as it is for marathon runners to complete the entire course in a 100-meter dash. But it is in this extreme challenge that we see the perfect cooperation between man and horse, and see the charm of equestrian sports.
It is worth mentioning that the 62-year-old Sweden veteran Rolf-Goran · Bengtsson stood on the Olympic stage again, and although he failed to help the team win a medal, his perseverance and perseverance are admirable. Bentsson's equestrian career is like an epic, from a young boy to a gray-haired old man, he has always maintained his love and dedication to equestrianism. In other sports, the 62-year-old may have taken a back seat, but in the magical sport of equestrianism, age has become an advantage, and the experience and wisdom that have accumulated can often make up for the lack of fitness.
Let's turn our attention to the Chinese team, although they did not qualify this time, they have already shown good strength at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Chinese equestrianism is like a horse ready to go, and I believe that in the near future, we will also be able to see the wonderful performance of Chinese riders in the Olympic arena.
With the end of the show jumping team event at the Paris Olympics, we can't help but ask: in this event where man and machine are integrated and tacit understanding is paramount, is it the rider who controls the horse, or the horse makes the rider? Perhaps, the answer lies in those moments of leaping over obstacles, in the subtle and magical tacit understanding between riders and horses. Let's look forward to the next Olympics and enjoy this elegant and exciting sport again!
