Satisfied that I’d paid tribute to most of the officialOlympic sponsors, I then headed to Sha Tin to see the equestrian events. We passed through some heavy security and arrived at the stadium just in time to see an Azerbaijani rider flung from the top off his horse, trampled, and rushed off to hospital. Poor chap. Halfway …
