The Olympics may have wrapped up, but the memories are still fresh in our minds—and the excitement isn’t over yet! We’re gearing up for the Paralympics next!
Here’s what’s been happening on Instagram this month as we celebrate unforgettable Olympic moments and look ahead to more incredible performances.
Have you ever wondered how Horses and their athletes prepare for an Olympic Games? Well, this is how – according to children!
Between these three, there are four gold medals and one silver – from this Olympics alone! No wonder there are tears of joy. In a performance for the record books, the German riders took team gold convincingly, making Isabell Werth the most decorated Equestrian Olympian of all time. We’ll just call her the Michael Phelps of riders.
Speaking of record-breaking German Olympic riders, Michael Jung’s win in Paris made him the only rider to have ever claimed three back-to-back Olympic titles in Individual Eventing. And he also finished with the lowest score in Eventing Olympics history!
Ever wondered what it takes to win three Eventing titles in a row? We did an Ask Me Anything with Michael Jung, asking everything from what keeps him motivated to how he got into riding.
We might have bid farewell to the Olympics already, but luckily, the Paralympics are on the horizon. Check out Mari Durward-Akhurst getting ready to head to Paris for her shot at glory. Did you know she’s ALSO a top para rower?
Of course, we couldn't not mention France's Olympic home nation heroes in Paris. Team France took home Eventing Team Silver and Jumping Team Bronze. Allez les bleus!
The Germans were on a serious medal roll in Paris but amongst all the record wins and accumulated piles of titles, Christian Kukuk delivered a standout performance to clinch his first ever medal – a gold one at that, and as the only rider to go clear in the jump off.
If you’re already missing the days spent watching the Olympics from your couch – or if you were lucky enough to be there in person – you’re not alone! But remember you can always rewatch them. Here’s how:
