    Amazing performance by Nick Skelton. He broke a vertebrae in his neck a few years ago and it was touch and go whether he'd ever ride again.

    Good, I'd be worried he was on drugs if he could do a double backflip after boxing like that.

    I will say this, I find it fascinating that we are getting better and better and it can be attributed to one guy , John Majors legacy will live on , sorry for politics but enjoying the Olympics so much and remembered this is the 1st generation truly brought through the lotto funding from and earlyage
