It's no good being the best a while ago, the only thing that matters is being the best now. | ||

Nothing sums up the most embarrassing aspects of white people more than that event. The fact that that can win a gold medal of equal weight to the 100m sprint or the weightlifting is both horrifying and ludicrous. You're just riding a horse while it hops around out of time to some music for 5 minutes and everyone orgasms over it. umm okkkkkkaaaaaaaaayyyy | ||

I was gonna respond to you in a logical way but then I read the word weightlifting. ROFL PS : Dressage is a very difficult sport which rewards long term relationship between men and animal. The only sad thing is that you need to be rich to practice it. | ||
