One has to feel for Jillian Terceira. If she was representing Bermuda in any other sport and had qualified for the Olympics, she'd be in Beijing. Unfortunately for her - and Bermuda - she qualified in show jumping, which meant that either she or Patrick Nisbett would be sitting on the sidelines come August. This Olympic row has come about because Bermuda can only have on representative and the Bermuda Equestrian Federation selected Nisbett. Only one of the three jump offs between Nisbett's Antille 8 and Terceira's Navantus took place with Nisbett winning four faults to eight.
Supporters have made claims as why their rider is superior and deserve to be going to the Games. All in all it's an unfortunate situation for Bermuda.
