YES, they are time filling with what the pentathletes have done so far in the lead up to the horse jumping

 

[teapot]

Ah here we go

Bet the same could be said for showjumpers who tried diving from a high board etc

Pentathons and decathlons are the true mark of an athlete but I am not so sure this modern version really stands up to being 'athletic'

 

[Rowreach]

But if it's part of your discipline, and you are going to the Olympics, would you not try to be a bit better at it? I lied, I am watching it, and while it is better than Beijing, it is still squirmingly awful to watch. And I can't imagine why people want to supply their horses to be put through this.
