Kevin Carr's Gloves 3879 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 How does Dressage get the nod ahead of an actual sport, say - squash? Squash is just for middle aged bank managers isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17218 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Isnt a sport defined as something you have to get changed for?....so dressage and squash should both be in, but archery and shooting?.....same as darts, dwarf throwing and snooker etc.. Dressage is a throwback to the Victorian origins of the modern games, as is the "Modern Pentathlon" which was invented literally as a test for serving cavalry officers....horse riding, shooting,fencing, swimming and cross country...and they still fuckin do it haven't seen much of my favourite Grecco/Roman wrestling yet, which is a lot older than dressage, but more of a sport iyam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Who is/was the most skillful in their own sports. Redgrave v Pele Hoy v Ali Farah v Woods Addlington v Federer Forget the hype because it is the London Olympics. Did you have the same views during the last Olympics.

ewerk 30485 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Another gold for Hoy. Fair play to him, he didn't get it easy there and did well to push in front of the German. Britain's greatest ever Olympian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That race was incredible cos when the German went past him I thought he was beat and he just came roaring back. Absolutely immense. He'll be missed as he's clearly an absolute beast, but we'll continue to do well without him. The cycling setup GB have is great as the last few years have shown. Jason Kenny's already come up and taken Hoy's spot in the individual sprint and won it with ease, and the rest of the team is in great shape breaking records all the time whilst still young.
