Just swap their pronouns for their actual name, its easier, you can’t get it wrong and it makes it sound like you’re commentating a Wrestling match.

What? I literally asked what the correct version is.
Showing someone what is wrong =/= showing someone what is right.
I’m not mad, I’m simply baffled by people who raise a problem and then they don’t try to educate and inform you on what the preferred/right form is especially when you ask to be corrected.

Can we all just hug and agree that dressage is shit?

GB needed that win vs the mighty USA after they were utterly destroyed by Fiji in the rugby 7s, that was pretty embarrassing to watch.

OG SL focussed on a lot of different shit to be fair.

Somewhere Graham Linehan’s arsehole is twitching over this.
Obviously no one has set out to upset or offend anyone so why act like they had? It was a women’s comp so its pretty understandable to use those pronouns.
If it means that much it probably would’ve been worth pointing out it out in a friendly way rather than act as if they’d done it on purpose. It’s hardly the crime of the century is it.
Anyway, I think as well as the embarrassment of having dressage in the Olympics, it’s even more embarrassing we don’t sweep the podium every time. It’s just being a big posho.

Are you watching on Eurosport?
I only realised the other day why BBC keep showing so few events and repeating many of the ones they do.

Have you seen Cariuma’s dressage team? They’ve got all the stinkers.

Just watching it all on iPlayer now, fully agree with you as well, full test style games would just be silly but this is much more accessible.

At least he has the bollocks to admit it. Surely the horse remembers the routine.

Probably less than a skater working out their run. Haha.
It could also be read in the context of _‘Just when you thought skateboarding was shit, dressage turns up!’_ … it’s still not really a compliment.
