Columbus, OH

Perhaps this was always going to be the way of things, with 64 tests crammed into one day – but when the morning dressage leader at the Olympics is someone like Great Britain’s Tom McEwen and JL Dublin, and they’re sitting on a score of 25.8, you start to convince yourself that perhaps only a few competitors will be able to best them in the afternoon.

For the second straight Summer Olympics, organizers seem to be doing what they can to keep athletes’ cardio solely on the playing surface.

As competitors arrive at Paris’ Olympic Village prior to the 2024 Summer Games, they’ll become acclimated to “anti-sex” twin-size beds crafted from cardboard frames created by Japanese manufacturer Airweave.

Given their limited surface area and thinner polyethylene mattress material, many perceived the beds to be a concerted effort at discouraging sex among competitors.



However, modified sleeping spaces may not actually mean a lack of lasciviousness.

Airweave’s chief operating officer Brett Thornton told The Post in May that the beds’ frames are...

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

We certainly had a fair idea of who we’d see clustering at the top of the board today as we kicked off a marathon of 64 dressage tests in Paris, and it’s unsurprising to see British stalwart Tom McEwen out in the front at the lunch break. The Tokyo individual silver and team gold medalist piloted JL Dublin (Diarado – Zarinna, by Canto), who is owned by James & Jo Lambert & Dierdre Johnston, to a 25.8 as the first rider out for the Brits, not quite slipping down to the 23 or 24 we know this pair is capable of but delivering enough to sit ahead of six-time Olympian Karin Donckers and Liepheimer Van’t Verahof (26.6).
