"All lights on green" for Steve Guerdat
"All lights are on green" reports Steve Guerdat from Rio de Janeiro. Arrived in Brazil on August 8, the Swiss rider from the Jura is obviously pleased with the beautiful Ipanema beach in front of the studios of Swiss TV: "Everything here is perfect," said the reigning Olympic champion in show jumping. "I love this city, and I am very pleased to be able to compete here. Everything is different compared to London, especially the scenery and landscape. But the atmosphere is also great."
