Whoa there......just a minute. All those people getting themselves all overcooked drooling at the thought of Lopez Lomong, the Lost Boy who found a home in Tully, making his Olympic debut this week may have forgotten the Madison County woman making her second swing at the Olympics -- Cazenovia's (more specifically, Fenner's) Beezee Madden.
The winner of a gold medal in the Athens Olympics, she'll be saddling up at the 2008 Olympics today (Thursday) to compete in the jumping competition. She'll be riding "Authentic", a 13-year-old bay, Dutch warmblood at the Hong Kong Olympic Equestrian Venue. The event is slated to start at 8 a.m. their time.
Beezee continues to be one of the best riders in the world, and we wish her incredible luck against the formidable competition from the Germans and Italians. Here's a Q&A with Beezee from a 2007 with Savvy Equestrian http://www.savvyequestrian.com/horsearticles/details.php?unid=936 and here's what Beezee looks like when she's up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddv7YuM1vjQ
