21st Aug was the Equestrian Individual Jumping Finals of the the Beijing Olympics 2008. The games were held in HK, because the quarantine system here is still OK :p
Spectators were asked not to clap their hands nor use a camera with flash light during the competition, because these would disturb the athletes. However, people just couldn't hold their loud reflex of "OOOOOH" or "WAAAAA" whenever an obstacle was knocked down.
The current world champion is MICHAELS-BEERBAUM Meredith representing Germany, but she has never won an Olympics gold medal.
Although these Olympics Mascots were not allowed to participate in the Opening Ceremony due to the "prophesy" rumor, they are still alive :p
Of course we also can't miss Chinese KongFu
The typhoon signal 3 was is hoisted in the evening, and thus this funny scene of everybody at the spectator stand wearing a rain coat.
A tank was broken and water spilled all over the sand. Accidents are inevitable in our life.
The Gold medal went to Canada. With so many HKnese in Canada, and vice versa. This is a happy ending?
P.S. Dutch Dad commented dressage is more difficult than jumping. Many HKnese left early during the dressage games. We know only horse-racing, not Equestrian :p
