Guardian 22 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 If I remember correctly, that ended up with Ireland having no medals to show for at Athens 2004. As for the "biggest tournament" for this year in show-jumping, I can't be sure. I'm biased that it will be the Masters tournament in Spruce Meadows in Calgary. I don't know quite yet how much prize money in involved here, but I know it really attracts the showjumpers big time. Most of all, those of us involved here will know later on which country will host the 2010 World Equestrian Games. So far, I think it is a battle between France, the USA, and the UAE.
