Re: [RC] USA Gold - Tom Sites

Steph, i wondered if you'd say something on this since you forwarded the information and made it public. 
 
What part of this don't you understand?  1987 was an OPEN Championship, and after much discussion the USA was given the Team Gold and now 18 years later they are trying to get it back? saying ??? . 
 
Steph, if Belguim got the Gold in this data...Who got Team Silver and Bronze? and what are our Medals to represent, and why do we have them, if we didn't win them?  And what about the Platter given to the Gold Team?  Is it a figment of my imagination, or a mistake on their part they want to correct?
 
As I have said  Lee Wittle will address this matter to FEI.

Tom - it is indeed a fine medal and you should be proud! But continental team medals can only be awarded to the continental teams. There are Open medals, and Individual medals, but the teams competition is only for the continent. e.g. Belgium could not take a team medal at a Pan American championship. But they could take open and individual medals.

Hello Ami,  Its beyond special, its precious.  Its the ONLY USA GOLD TEAM won abroad.  To see that it is not recognized makes the plan simple.  To correct that mistake.
 
Further communication on this subject will be by the Team Chef d'Equipe, at the time, Lee Wittle.
