2008 Olympic Wrap-up

The Olympics are over for another four years, but the US equestrian team will have plenty of memories to last a lifetime. If you haven't followed the overall standings, the US ranks #2 for gold medals in all events, and #1 for total number of medals won, with 36 gold, 38 silver, and 36 bronze, for a total of 110 medals.. Congrats to the hard-working US Equestrian Olympic Team, both horses and riders, as well as all other athletes who represented the US in Beijing!

And don't forget Canada's individual gold in jumping, or the silver medal in team jumping!

Welcome home to our athletes in both countries.
