Looked good didn't he, and I thought it was harsh that the judges gave the other lad the second round

The Kazakh lad had a very busy style which sometimes does seem to win rounds but I thought Galal won all three rounds.
I think Lauren Price will win gold and hopefully Galal will too..
The Dutch girl who wiped out our GB rider ended up being taken from the velodrome on a stretcher as she was unconscious after the fall.
Not for the first time I agree with you

The super heavyweight final in the boxing has an interesting back story. The Uzbek is a professional boxer 8-0 with 8 KOs. In 2019 he KO'd Torrez (the other finalist from the USA) in the quarter finals of the world championships.
At the time it was quite controversial as Torrez was 20 years old and fairly inexperienced whereas Jalo.lov was 6-0 as a professional at the time.
Torrez has clearly improved massively in the past 2 years but its still a big ask against Jalo.lov who has won 37 in a row in the amateurs since 2017.

A horse? In an equine sport?
Well thats brand new news.
If you reckon the riders just sit on them, go and give it a go.

Take the gold won by Maher the other day: he stated he had to get on that horse because it was the best horse. It's the best horse because it can adjust for any errors in judgement that the rider might make.
They are decision makers. That's why the gold for a show jumper is not the same for most other athletes where the mastery of competitors and the situation is all theirs.

In a sporting context, its really no different than the fastest runner in a relay team making up the seconds the slowest one lost. As in, a partnership.
I am no lover of equine sports, nor of "Horsey" folk, but to dismiss the input of the riders is a nonsense.

That the one with the little scooter thing, or the mad one where they ride around, lap after lap, and its impossible to know who is doing what?

I dont dismiss it, I relegate it to second most important element. Of course a horse is guided around the course, but they are the ones jumping fences and can and do adapt to what's in front of them and surmounting them.
It's fundamentally different than other events. Two different animals combining.
