It’s 2:20 AM as I write this in Hong Kong, and I’m just back to my hotel. Equestrian went until 12:30 AM, not including the medal ceremonies and victory laps.
I’ll have much, much more to say about the venue, the facility, the superior food concessions, the free gifts for spectators, and the impressive logistics. But I’m flat out exhausted, so it’ll have to wait until morning. For now, a photo of the venue:
Aw, heck – one more photo. I’d like to call this one A Piece of Victory. It was taken from the stands, as the venue crew were reducing the size of the medal platform to accommodate the individual eventing jumping winners, after the ceremony for the team eventing jumping winners. In the latter category, my compatriot, Gina Miles of the USA, won a silver.
