U.S. Show Jumpers Win Olympic Team Gold

The U.S. show jumpers put in three perfect trips in a jump-off to win the Olympic team gold medal.

Steve was just beaming when I caught up with him after the Nations' Cup.

We chatted about his dream for more than 15 years to be an Olympic course designer.

He pointed out that he doesn't compete any more, so he can't ride in the Olympics. Getting here by designing is, he pointed out, "the next-best thing."

We're getting to the end here. I love it, but I'm pooped, working until 5 or 6 a.m. every day. But I'll gear up for Tuesday's feature, the dressage freestyle. Choi keen.
