the top 30 getting the chance to go for the gold.

That's a lot of horse poop going for the other gold. The carbon footprint for this event alone should be grounds for protests. Since the competitors are usually rich people, if they each flew their own private jet to Tokyo the air must be choked with exhaust.

And she was ranked #14 but came in #31. Sounds like US pollsters are in charge of the rankings.

I love the equestrian events too. Since men and women compete together, any rich trans weirdos should have no problem participating in this sport.
