Just had a peek at the modern pentathlon. What a bunch of nutters! The showjumping consists of being given any old nag, then getting it over the jumps within the time allowed. Some competitors have obviously not spent much time on a horse. One poor sod ended up taking a jump, while attached to the horse from below. The lesser of the two Brits looked like she was on a runaway train, pulling wildly at the emergency cord. Faster, higher, stronger? Looney Tunes, more like!
