Monday social media roundup … that sounds a little funny, eh? Ah well, we did it! We made it! Unlike some other sports (RIP dressage freestyle) WEG eventing is complete! Let’s take a one more peek around social media on this final day of competition as we celebrate the teams that found themselves victorious.
Forty years after John Watson won individual silver at the World #Eventing Championships in Lexington in 1978 his son @watsoneventing wins a team silver medal @tryon2018. A first in Irish eventing, never achieved before. @FEI_Global @TeamIRLEq #equestrian #Tryon2018 #Ireland pic.twitter.com/CnwWp7fTRa

Can we just acknowledge for a second that JAPAN GOT TEAM 4TH?? They beat out Germany (Rio silver🥈), Australia (Rio bronze🥉), and New Zealand (Rio 4th) who have a very long history of excellence. Over the freakin moon 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 #Tryon2018 #WEG pic.twitter.com/e3D69XY2Mq

“Padraig McCarthy has been a revolution!” Not sure that’s quite what the commentator was going for, but hell, if @IrishEventer wants to lead a revolution, I’m in! #tryon2018
