Irish journalist Louise Parkes joins Chris this week to share her experience and reflections on the Tokyo Olympic Games. Louise was the pen behind the press releases for the FEI in Tokyo and watched history being made at these unusual Games. The world too enjoyed watching as German women not only won dressage and eventing gold medals but also occupied seven places in the top ten of the dressage freestyle, including the top five spots. Eventer Julia Krajewski slid into the gold medal position after cross country when her teammate and favorite Michael Jung accrued penalties and she made no mistake that this was to be her competition. That these Games happened at all during a pandemic was a massive achievement for all concerned and much credit is due to the Japanese people who ensured that the horses benefitted from five-star accommodation and the viewing public enjoyed some outstanding performances that will go down in the record books with women becoming Olympic Champions.
