My Favorite Olympic Sport

This week the b5media Sports Channel is talking about favorites. While I enjoy most all of the Olympic sports, I have a particular fondness for the equestrian events. I think it’s the unique pairing of human and equine athletes, each bringing their unique skills to the sport, that appeals to me.
It’s also a sport that rewards experience. It’s not uncommon to see riders in their 40s and 50s compete. In fact, in Beijing the Australian equestrian team has a 60-year-old rider, Laurie Lever. Of course, the elegant outfits and the occasion royal are fun, too.
