The first time I see Zara Phillips , Amazing job of her.
She looked like she was crying, both on the way in and on the way out
Prince Abdullah Al Saud was part of the Saudi Arabia Team that won bronze today in Team Jumping.
In Round One, he was among the best with no penalty points (in fact, after Round 1, Saudi Arabia was in lead with only 1 penalty point in total).
The Prince was the best in his team in the Second Round, with only 4 penalty points (only three jumpers showed better results - a Brit and two Dutch jumpers).
Huge congratulations to Prince Abdullah and his team-mates - Abdullah Waleed Sharbatly, Ramzy Al Duhami, Kamal Bahamdan.
I actually think there is no need to feel bad for her; Nathalie performed very well (the best of her team), earned great marks and the right to fight for an individual. If anything, that's an achievement one should be congratulated with.
I happen to strongly believe in the words from London 1948 Olympic Games: "The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The Essential thing in Life is not conquering but fighting well." Nathalie fought well, and she took part in an event that many of us can only dream of competing in.
For me, that quote always symbolised Olympic Games - or any sport, for that matter.that's a beautiful quote
I understand what you are saying but when you are competing as part of a team, there is only so much you can do. Nathalie did her best.
Now, in individual dressage she will, hopefully, put another great performance and fight for a medal or Top 5 finish.
