Wow!
Didn't expect a Gold from Dressage.

Impressive result. Though personally -- as someone clueless about this strange technical horsey stuff -- I thought the Dutch rider had the edge. But what would I know? 
The winner's story is pretty fairy tale though. Hard not to be moved by that.

Same here, i didn't think she'd have gotten 89% to take gold and ended up with over 90%
The Dutch are excellent at this, this is probably the worst i've seen them and they were still very good so we got a bit lucky.

Not taking anything away from it, but the fact the horses haven't had to travel must have made a difference.
I don't really, i tend to get bored. From what i have seen of the Dutch they are usually perfection personified which they weren't during this. The mistake our last rider made in one of the switches in music was what made me think she wouldn't make 89% never mind the 90.89 that she got.. that shows how much i know

They didn't even win team dressage gold either so how can they be 'perfection personified'?
I meant in the past ie before this olympics, but as i said i know very little of the sport.
