We know, we know… it’s The Week. (*insert Michael Scott “It’s happening!” gif here*)
OLYMPICS WEEK. It’s finally here, and thus all anyone can talk about. Vibes are up, tensions are high, Tilly is on the ground in Paris, soon to be joined by Sally, where they will soon lovingly barrage all you readers with non-stop content straight from Versailles. Get those reading glasses on and open your tabs — one for our Team and Individual Forms guides (scheduled to hit the press very shortly), one for our Olympics hub so you don’t miss the latest headlines, one for EN’s Ultimate Guide so you have all the links and schedules in one convenient place, and one for your live stream.
Before that loving barrage hits, however, we still have one last thing to wrap up, and that’s this weekend at Rebecca Farm! Jennie Brannigan is still in the lead for the CCI4*-L after a clear run cross country yesterday on Pascal. Despite all the prep involved the day before running a 4*-L cross country (and Pascal’s first 4*-L at that), as well as taking the time out to put in a lovely dressage round that tied her for first on Friday, Jennie still managed to — in true Rebecca Farm style — spend her morning volunteering at a roads and tracks gate crossing for the Classic Three-Day riders. Everything about Rebecca just brings riders back to their grassroots; it’s hard not to when there are all three phases happening everywhere, every day, all levels, all week. Bravo to Jennie, and don’t forget to thank your volunteers!
Keep your eyes on Rebecca today via RideOnVideo as Jennie takes to the stadium, where she holds a solid 10-point lead. We’ll be crowning a new champion before the day is over!
