essica Springsteen made her Olympic debut in Tokyo today but narrowly missed out on a spot in the individual jumping finals.

The 29-year-old daughter of Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band wife, Patti Scialfa, was eliminated from the individual competition during the qualifying round, finishing in a tie for 31st place — with the top 30 getting the chance to go for the gold.

But Jessica, who is ranked 14 in the world in show jumping, may get another shot at bringing home a medal on Friday during the jumping team event.

'All in all, I'm thrilled with the round and I'm excited for the rest of the week,' she said, according to the AP.

I really don’t care what the daughter of a stinking Anti-American draft dodger is doing.

There are plenty of black billionaires and millionaires around. Nothing stopping their kids from taking up this sport.

FWIW - Its a rapidly growing sport among the super-wealthy in China - a country with zero traditional horse-racing, horse-show or landed-gentry farm culture.

They like anything which shows off their wealth and status.

The horse probably wasn’t Born In The USA is why she lost.

Everyone knows that if you date a “horse Chick” you come first right after
The horse
the tack
the stable
the arena
the horse trailer
The truck
the hay
the oats
the trainer
The Ferrier

Basically you are the stable boy.

Lots of Hello Kitty stuff? Guess she rides as well as her dad sings. Then again, you don’t get to choose your progenitors. 🐴😜

Back when he had a picture of himself whizzing on the American Flag for an album cover?

The horse is absolutely gorgeous. His rider? Not so much.

They haven’t shown much of the equestrian events on TV. She has been riding quite awhile. I won’t condemn her because of her parents.. But I bet Daddy is going to the big birthday bash on the Vinyahd this weekend...

“the ultimate white supremacy sport”

True Dat. The wife and I went to an horse jumping event once a few years ago. I have never seen so many Cadillac Escalades in one place before. The poor people drove Suburbans.
The rich had RV/horse trailers. The really rich had a Semi tractor/RV pulling a huge horse trailer.

The women were very well kept. Plus they all were in very good shape, even the older ones.

It made dog shows look like a bunch of pikers.

Not to mention ol’ Bruce gets a tax exemption on real property in NJ because it is some kind of “farm”.

She could have won but she chose to ride a chihuahua that identified as a horse

Can’t stand Springsteen. As far as his daughter goes - really no opinion whatsoever.

Better luck next time

Not for Springsteen's daughter. Not from me. I really hope she loses.

“Jessica, who is ranked 14 in the world” finished 31st. So in other words she choked.
